Assalamu aleikum, dear friends. As respected members of our community, we would like to thank you for reading and contributing to Altmuslimah. With your support, Altmuslimah has become a unique online destination, featuring compelling commentary on the gender issues many, if not all, of us have faced and continue to face. We want you to know that without your continued participation in this conversation, Altmuslimah would have very little success.
After completing our first year, Altmuslimah is looking to expand and exponentially grow our readership. To this end, we have outlined the following agenda:
1. Website facelift: Altmuslimah is starting a website facelift project that will better organize our content, facilitate reader participation, and allow us to provide broader coverage of relevant topics.
2. Speaking circuit exposure: Altmuslimah is getting many requests for speaking engagements, such as our most recent conversation on NPR. We will be working to develop speakers and speaking toolkits that can be used by multiple constituents including media outlets, news outlets and more.
3. Expanding our reach: Altmuslimah is starting a concerted partnership effort with different NGOs and think-tanks as well as expanding our message beyond the English-speaking world by translating our work into different languages. Our volunteer board of editors and advisors is working hard to make these initiatives a reality. We know that we cannot do it without your help.
Altmuslimah needs your help in the following ways:
1. Word of mouth: The only way we can continue to grow is by expanding our audience. We need your help in spreading the word so that others can engage and deconstruct the complex issues we tackle. Through knowledge and dialogue we will foster a stronger community-at-large and a higher level of consciousness.
2. Partnerships: If you know people and/or organizations who would be interested in partnering with Altmuslimah, please contact our editors.
3. Feedback: We want to hear from YOU! Give us your ideas for expansion. We love hearing them. How can we better serve your interests?
4. Donate to Altmuslimah. We recently added a donation link to our homepage via PayPal. We humbly request that you please take a moment to donate online using our secure payment service. You can do so quickly and easily by clicking on the PayPal button in our right-hand side bar or click here.
Our costs are minimal since we all work as volunteers, but in order to maintain the technology and expand our reach, we need to raise a small amount of funds. We believe our 12-month budget is $5000 per year. We would like to raise $10,000 to cover us for the next few years. Any donation amount would be much appreciated.
We are rapidly expanding and none of this could be achieved without your generous support, so we thank you for taking the time to donate today.
Once again, thank you and we look forward to working with you as Altmuslimah expands.
