BECOMING A FOUNDING SUPPORTER
As we launch our first full year of program delivery, we invite you to join us as a Founding Supporter of CRS with a gift between now and December 31st, 2011. In this exciting time, your support at any level will help us deliver powerful leadership renewal programming for our region. We've set a goal of raising $50,000 from contributors like you by the end of 2011. Here's how we can reach that goal together and how your support at the following levels helps leaders attend our multi-day Regenerative Leadership Retreats:
GIVING LEVELS

- Patron ($500 - $999) For example: a gift of $667 can cover 2/3rds of the cost of participation in a Regenerative Leadership Retreat for 1 leader.
- Benefactor ($1,000 - $2,499) For example: a gift of $2,000 can fully cover participation in a Regenerative Leadership Retreat for 2 leaders.
- Major Donor ($2,500 - $4,999) For example, a gift of $3,000 can fully cover participation in a Regenerative Leadership Retreat for 3 leaders.

MATCHING GIFTS
Many companies match their employees', board members', or retirees' charitable contributions. Corporate matching gifts provide a way for the Center for Regenerative Society's donors to maximize their personal contributions and increase the impact of their gift. By taking advantage of a company's matching gift benefit, it is possible to double or even triple your contribution.
This meaningful support makes a critical difference to our ability to sustain regenerative leaders in communities throughout our region and across the nation. Please ask your human resources office if they match contributions and send their matching gift form with your check (or separately if you choose to make your gift online or over the phone).
HONORARY & MEMORIAL GIFTS
Would you like to honor a leader who has inspired you in your life? Consider making your gift in their honor or memory. Celebrate the good work done every day by someone you admire or celebrate the memory of a special leader who has passed away.
For Honorary Gifts, if you supply the contact information, we will send that person or their family a note card informing them of your gift. As with all donations, they will be listed in our Annual Report, and can receive the same benefits that you will (see Benefits of Giving above.)
For Memorial Gifts, please let us know if we can acknowledge the gift with a note to a friend or family member of your special leader.
You can make an Honorary or Memorial gift online (through Just Give, above), by mailing a check, or by calling 319.290.6306. Feel free to call or email info@regenerativesociety.org with your questions.
GIFTS OF STOCK
Many donors choose to make a gift of stock rather than a cash contribution. We would be happy to work with you to achieve your goals.
For more information, call 319.290.6306 or email info@regenerativesociety.org
PLANNED GIFTS
Planned gifts are one of the most generous ways to ensure that our regenerative society, community and leadership work will continue to thrive. Many people make planned gifts during their lifetimes so that they can see their donation put to work. Others choose to leave a lasting legacy.
Planned gifts come in many different forms – from bequests to charitable gift annuities to gifts of insurance and many more – please consult with your attorney or financial advisor about including the Center for Regenerative Society in your plans.
GIFTS-IN-KIND
Often people have items that they no longer need, but that could be very helpful to a nonprofit organization. And, the donor can often take a tax deduction for the fair market value of the item.
Some items on our wish list currently include:
Office furnishings! A couple of sturdy desks, shelves, a filing cabinet, a table…
Please consult the Internal Revenue Service for information about donating property.
DONOR PRIVACY
We honor your privacy and do not share, trade or sell your personal information to any people or organizations. Also, please let us know if you prefer your gift remain anonymous and not be listed on our website or in our annual report.
