As you know, this was the first time Allstate Foundation Purple Purse has embarked on an online fundraising campaign. Even our boldest hopes didn’t match up to the astonishing successes you achieved. You brought Allstate Foundation Purple Purse to every corner of this country. Each of your communities joined together in a critical national conversation about domestic violence and financial abuse – raising incredible amounts of money for your organizations along the way.
Even if your organization didn’t make it into the top ten, you will still keep all the funding you raised in the Challenge and any Bonus Challenge grant prizes you won along the way. You can use the attached template press release to publicly announce the results of your hard work on the Purple Purse Challenge.
Thank you all for making this first-ever Allstate Foundation Purple Purse Challenge a fantastic success. We are absolutely in awe of all that you were able to accomplish.
Best wishes,
The Allstate Foundation
