Giving and Supporting
When we see goodness growing in our neighborhood and friends, its not because somehow everyone found their own winning lottery ticket. Rather, its when we’ve become interdependent and are finding within community much of what we need to thrive together. That’s how this life seems to work – and we get to share that life with a communion of saints that includes you. You’re an important part of the interdependent community we’re encouraged and sustained by, and because of you we don’t have to dream of winning the lottery!Our community doesn’t link success to a growing budget; we simply want to partner with you in the work we feel led to do, and let your support be part of our discernment about what God may be calling us to. We are not financially underwritten by any institution, and we only apply for grants directly connected to our current initiatives. We will try to always ask for that which we need, and not hype up our requests beyond what simply sustains the work we do. We will always try to be transparent on these issues.
Financial donations: Financial contributions can be mailed to us (it’s old fashioned – but we also love to get letters, so include one and you’ll make us doubly thankful!):
