- Medium Affluence: Communication was crafted around the concept of legacy and consistent support, “Your continuous support has been our backbone. Let’s build the future together.”
- Low Affluence: Messaging encouraged micro-donations, underlining every bit’s impact, “Every gift, regardless of size, makes a difference. Join our mission.”
