Founding 100

Dear Friend,

We're excited to share an important milestone in the journey of Collective Calling.

Earlier this year, Collective Calling was officially recognised as a Public Utility organisation in Spain.

For us, this isn't simply a new legal status.

It marks the beginning of a new chapter.

As we approach ten years of Collective Calling, Gemma and I have found ourselves reflecting on the journey so far. What began as a simple desire to respond to need has grown into something we could never have imagined, thanks to an incredible community of people who have believed in the vision, volunteered, partnered with us, sponsored children, donated and encouraged us along the way.

To every one of you, thank you.

Receiving Public Utility recognition caused us to ask an important question:

How do we build a foundation that enables Collective Calling to continue restoring lives for the next ten years and beyond?

Our answer is the Founding 100.

Rather than simply celebrating this milestone, we wanted to use it as an opportunity to strengthen the future of Collective Calling by bringing together one hundred people committed to providing the steady monthly support that allows this work to continue, grow and respond wherever the need is greatest.

Attached is our Founding 100 Overview.

It's a short read that shares the journey that has brought us to this point, the vision behind the Founding 100 and what we're hoping to build together over the years ahead.

As part of our new Public Utility status, eligible taxpayers in Spain can now benefit from valuable tax relief on qualifying donations.

For our supporters in the UK, we're also delighted to continue offering tax-efficient giving through our partnership with Stewardship, enabling eligible UK taxpayers to benefit from Gift Aid.

We'd genuinely love you to take a few minutes to read the overview.

If the vision resonates with you, we'd be honoured to welcome you as one of our Founding 100.

And if becoming part of the Founding 100 isn't right for you at this time, perhaps you could think of just one person who may connect with what we're building. We'd be incredibly grateful if you would simply forward them this email along with the attached overview.

Sometimes one introduction can become the beginning of something much bigger.

Thank you for being part of the Collective Calling story so far.

We're excited about what the next chapter holds, and we'd love for you to be part of it.

With our heartfelt thanks,

Paul Carr & Gemma Blanchard

Founders, Collective Calling
