Peace and justice are found when leaders stand up and speak truth... no matter what the personal consequences.  Thank you, Archbishop Tutu-- we need more like you.

**The Future Needs Courage — And It Starts With You** 

*Every generation needs its torchbearers.* 

Through **Be the Light**, we’re raising $500,000 toward keeping the moral courage of Archbishop Desmond and Mama Leah Tutu alive — not as a memory, but as a force shaping our present and future.

*Your support fuels*: 
**Learning from Legacy**—empowering youth to think critically, lead with principle, and take action. 
**Truth to Power Exhibition**—preserving the Tutus’ legacy & inspiring visitors to confront injustice. 
**Courageous Conversations**—creating inclusive spaces for dialogue, healing, and collective action. 

From classrooms to communities, from workplaces to government, your gift equips a new generation to stand for justice, dignity, and hope.

Be the Light

*A Season of Generosity — Giving Tuesday and the Holidays Ahead*

As many of our supporters across North America celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend, we want to begin with gratitude. Thank you for being part of a global community that believes, as Desmond Tutu did, that hope must be practised and peace must be built — day by day, choice by choice.As we enter Giving Tuesday and look toward the holiday season, we invite you to stand with us and strengthen this work.

Your support enables:

- Youth leadership and civic education
- Peace dialogues and Courageous Conversations
- Preservation of the Arch and Mama Leah’s moral and historical legacy
- The empowerment of ethical future leaders

**You can support this work in two meaningful ways:**

**1. Become a Monthly Supporter**: Monthly giving — in any amount — gives the Foundation the stability to plan, to grow, and to deepen our programmes. It is the most powerful way to sustain the work of peace.

**2. Make a Once-Off Gift**: Every contribution helps us reach more young people, expand our dialogues, and amplify the Arch’s message worldwide.

**If you can, please join us as a monthly donor.** That steady commitment becomes part of the peace we are building — one act, one voice, one child, one letter at a time.

**Your Light Matters**

Every act of generosity is a thread in the larger tapestry of justice and human dignity. Every supporter helps carry the Arch’s lantern forward. Every one of you strengthens a legacy the world still needs.

Thank you for believing in this work. Thank you for choosing courage. And thank you for helping us be the light.

Warmly,

The Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation
