Just a few hours left!

April 25, 2025

Thank you so much for supporting our campaign. Your gift truly makes a difference for RefugeeConnect’s College & Career Readiness Program and will help so many refugee youth.

We only have a few hours left in our campaign and are so close to our push goal! Will you help us reach our goal by sharing our project with just one person you know? If everyone shares our project, we can reach our goal and make an even bigger difference for RefugeeConnect!

THANK YOU! 


“One big lesson I’m learning from fundraising is how much storytelling matters in talking to possible donors. Crowdfunding isn’t simply about requesting money; it’s about sharing the mission, stories of the people reached, and how impactful each donation can be." 


Thank you so much for your support!

Thank you very much for contributing to our project and for assisting us in supporting refugee youth in northern Kentucky. With your help and a generous donation from the Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project, we have achieved our $3,700 fundraising goal!

Your generosity will lend support to RefugeeConnect’s College & Career Readiness Program, which plays a vital role in assisting refugee youth beyond high school.  

We still have 11 days left in our project, and we would love to keep fundraising for RefugeeConnect! We are announcing a goal to reach $4,200, which will enable RefugeeConnect to provide even more programs like FAFSA coaching sessions, transportation to college tours and resume-building workshops for refugee youth.

 

"Fundraising is not as simple as I had initially thought it would be. There was a lot of planning from professor’s instructions to students’ work of crafting and sharing messages with individuals in their lives and their own communities. It is a lot of work."
