Harvest of Peace Fundraiser 2022
Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 between one-time donations and new recurring membership contributions. Last year we raised $20,375, and we believe this is possible again with your help!
Balancing home, work, social and spiritual lives can be demanding. The Harvest of Peace is an opportunity to take some time to examine and re-seed our relationship with generosity and abundance which strengthen and sustain us throughout the year.
Part of the Harvest of Peace every year is a fundraiser to support the ongoing health of our community. As a non-profit organization money is necessary, but not our measure of success. Our purpose is to awaken and cultivate the inherent qualities of human goodness, and to continually create a culture based on those qualities. The real wealth of our community is measured in the depth of our practice, the strength of our kindness, and our ability to connect with the ordinary magic and richness of the phenomenal world. Yet we don’t ignore the financial resources needed to do this work.
We are asking for your contributions to support the continued health of the community.
There are three main ways that we maintain our operational budget every year:
- Membership Contributions
- Program Income
- Fundraising
The most reliable and important source of financial stability for us is membership contributions. If you are not yet a member yet, or would like to increase your contributions, please email [email protected]. We will be happy to answer any questions you have.
