Dear Space Show Listeners:
Re: 2017 Annual Space Show/One Giant Leap Foundation Fundraising Drive
Thank you for listening and supporting The Space Show/One Giant Leap Foundation over the years. We are now in our annual campaign which serves the purpose of carrying on with Space Show programming for the coming year, 2018. As you hear on most Space Show programs, your financial support keeps The Space Show going. Simply put, without your support, The Space Show will have to dramatically scale back its programming or worse. Each year our utilities and production costs rise so just to stay even your financial support becomes more important than years before. Your financial support enables us to continue with our programming schedule and to continue making our copyrighted content available free to everyone via the internet. Don't forget, we never take fees from guests to be on the program, even when we are helping a guest promote his/her books, movies, newsletters, or other IP, including their unique ideas and theories. In addition, I don't take a salary for my work with The Space Show/OGLF. In summary and to be blunt about it, The Space Show needs your financial support.
The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 and California Public Benefit Corporation. Our parent 501C3 corporation is the One Giant Leap Foundation (OGLF) (www.onegiantleapfoundation.org). We understand that you have choices in making your tax deductible contributions and we certainly appreciate your including us in your gifting priorities. Contributions to The Space Show should be made through Pay Pal or if by check to One Giant Leap Foundation. Mailing and Pay Pal instructions can be found by clicking on Pay Pal on the right side of our home page, www.thespaceshow.com or by clicking on the OGLF page, www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/individuals.htm. They are also provided below.
In addition, we are now renewing and seeking new corporate and/individual sponsors for The Space Show. Sponsors gets a banner ad placed on The Space Show home page plus I read a 60 second or less sponsor message on each Space Show program (there are a few exceptions such as when we do the 60 minute shows). For information on becoming a sponsor, please email me at drspace@thespaceshow.com Remember, if you pay U.S. federal taxes, you get a tax deduction for your gift. The same is true for those of you paying California taxes as we are both a federal 501C3 nonprofit corporation and a California Public Benefit Corporation. Please check with your tax adviser regarding any and all tax questions that you might have regarding potential OGLF tax deductions. You are also encouraged to contact me with your questions and comments about the show or anything else. Above all, please support us. 2017 is quickly coming to a close so now is the time to support The Space Show/OGLF by making your Space Show contribution . As a final reminder, you can make your donation online using Pay Pal per the above links (or click on the Pay Pal logo on our home page). For those of you who prefer mailing a check, please make your check payable to One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc. and mail it in care of me to P.O. Box 95, Tiburon, CA 94920 USA. As I say on most shows, your donations and support are what keeps The Space Show on the air.
Thank you for your contribution and ongoing support. I look forward to sharing the New Year with you through The Space Show and One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc. Please contact me at drspace@thespaceshow.com if you have any questions. Let's all work to make 2018 a banner year for space, prosperity, health, and peace around the world.
Sincerely, yours,
Dr. David Livingston
