HELP US TO REACH OUR
$10,000 END-OF-YEAR GOAL
Our work is sustained by your generous contributions. We aren’t independently wealthy and don’t yet have backing from foundations. A gift culture is an ancient, time-tested practice that strengthens community. Your act of giving is a declaration that you are taking care of what you value. Thank you.
Since September 2019, we have raised a total of $26,690 in start-up funds. Currently, we are receiving about $350 per month in contributions towards our operating budget.
To increase capacity, in 2021, our goal is for our Executive Director to stop subsidizing our operating budget and hire a Full-Time Director of Operations at $3,000 per month. To do this we must grow our monthly revenue to $5000 per month to sustain and grow our (1) weekly podcast, (2) online learning platform, (3) Walk for a Viable Future, (4) Climate Leadership Program.
By raising $10,000 by the end of 2021, we will be able to being the hiring process for our Director of Operations. We are encouraging Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color to apply.
Therefore, please consider making a monthly contribution to support our operating budget. Consistent support builds organizational stability and sends a message of solidarity.

Our founder, Lev Natan, has volunteered hundreds of hours to this initiative over the last fifteen years. Through the generous support of friends, family and our Founders Circle, we began raising start-up funds ($30,000 thus far) in November 2019, to allow this work to be sustainable. Moving forward, the Alliance needs to receive an operating budget of $3,000/month. We will update these numbers as our organization continues to grow. We are grateful for the contribution of your presence in this community and for your choice to give financially. Thank you so much for practicing generosity.
