GIVING LEVELS

We are grateful to every person who recognizes that the real “center” for regenerative society is located inside each one of us, but especially to friends like you whose material support for our mission and programs makes it likely that many more leaders will make this vital discovery and learn to live and lead from within. No matter the size of your gift to the Center for Regenerative Society, your support makes a substantive difference, and we thank you for your generosity.

Benefits of Giving

Your gifts help foster

  • The growing movement in our region for more healthy, just and sustainable communities.
  • Leadership renewal programs that serve those on the front lines of this movement, including some who need scholarship support.
  • Programs designed around a core conviction that a regenerative society is not happening anywhere unless it is also happening inside us.

As writer Scott Russell Sanders says, “Whenever I talk or write about genuine sources of hope, I point to the regenerative power in nature, in communities, and in us. The outer and the inner, communal and personal, social and spiritual must change in tandem, or neither dimension will flourish.”

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.

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.

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 in their matching gift form with your pledge.

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 in our annual report.
