<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks for asking about this.  I promised to come back with a fuller campaign recap for everyone, so thanks for your patience as I compiled that. Here are the key data points we have on participation in the
 Beyond the Net Campaign this autumn:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Over the 6 months of collaborative campaign development, we hosted 2 rounds of focus groups with Chapter representatives from across all regions, made 1 presentation to the ChAC Steering Committee, built 1 dedicated
 campaign page, created 3 fundraising and communications toolkits, and launched a standalone 6-week email journey for Chapter members.<br>
 <br>
At the risk of repeating myself, I want to again thank all those involved for their interest, collaboration, and support in this new and significant project.  While modest donation totals of under $3,000 were realized in relation to the campaign target of $40,000,
 it very important to understand that this represents a meaningful level of growth in comparison with prior direct fundraising campaigns at ISOC. And most significantly, we did this, for the very first time, together as a collaborative fundraising project between
 interested chapter leaders and staff. I am looking forward to building upon the valuable insights and experiences this campaign generated, as we plan for 2025.
<br>
 <br>
Please don’t hesitate to email me if you have reflections about your own participation in the Beyond the Net Campaign or if you have ideas you’d like to share for future fundraising campaigns, I’d love to hear them too. I am very excited that we are about to
 open a special end-of-year giving appeal which includes a 1:1 match for early donations thanks to the generosity of one of our own community members – more details will be posted soon!<br>
 <br>
Very best regards,<br>
Isadora<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 My deep gratitude for the open collaboration that the fundraising team and I experienced during the six months of developing the campaign this spring and summer - throughout the campaign development process and during the live phase this fall, it was a privilege
 to connect with leaders and members from many different chapters, and it was motivating and inspiring to hear your ideas, commitment, and enthusiasm for expanding ISOC’s community of supporters.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Building a new kind of campaign from the ground up was neither quick nor easy, but it has been a thoroughly rewarding experience so far thanks to the support and interest from so
 many people on this list. We gained invaluable insights that will serve as a foundation for future fundraising efforts developed in collaboration with the community.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I wanted to extend a particular shoutout to everyone who participated in our two rounds of focus groups in the spring - it was fantastic to have representation from Chapters including
 Benin, Belgium, Egypt, HK, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Nigeria, Nigeria, NYC, Quebec, Puerto Rico, SF Bay & Türkiye through those! I also need to say a massive thank you to the leaders of the Champion Chapters who courageously volunteered to amplify the campaign message
 within their own communities: Rwanda, SF Bay, Quebec, Venezuela, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Perú, and Colombia Chapters. Your willingness, leadership, and support were instrumental in making this campaign the successful and beneficial project
 it was. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Ultimately, donations came in from 17 Chapters across 16 countries. Donors included Chapter members, leaders, ISOC and Foundation staff, and even Board members. Significantly, 75%
 of all campaign donors were making a gift for the first time. All funds will be directed exclusively into future Beyond the Net funding.</p>
