[Anuradha Mittal]

SPECIAL ONE-TIME CHANCE TO SUPPORT FOOD FIRST DURING MARCH 2000

Allan Shawn Feinstein Third Annual Matching Challenge Grant


	Food First/The Institute for Food and Development Policy is a leader in 
the fight to eliminate the injustices that perpetuate hunger amidst 
plenty.

	I know that you support our work, and I want to invite you to 
participate in a challenge that will double all donations (all are tax 
deductible) we receive during the month of March, 2000.

	Hunger philanthropist Alan Shawn Feinstein has announced a one million 
dollar challenge to double every special gift given during March 2000 
for the special "March to Fight Hunger" challenge.  Food First is proud 
to have been selected to participate.

	Gifts made by California residents will also be matched by Terrence 
Caster, who is donating an additional $1 million dollars. For Minnesota 
residents, John Lavender is matching gifts with $1 million, and Horace 
Kimball Foundation will match $1 million for Rhode Island resident’s 
gifts. That’s a total $4 million dollar challenge.

	If you can afford to send a gift in March, it will be matched by Alan 
Shawn Feinstein, and others, whatever the amount.  Remember, your 
special matching gift must be received in the month of March to count 
toward these challenge grants. You can donate by credit card number 
either on our web site or by mail (simply send us your card number and 
expiration date). Or you can simply write a check made out to Food First 
for this challenge grant. This is a chance to double the impact of your 
support.

	I want you to know that we sincerely appreciate the support you have 
already provided to our work.  If you have friends who would like to 
participate, please share this form with them and make sure we get their 
name and address so we that can thank them.

	Thank you so much,
	Peter Rosset
	Executive Director
