YOUR SUPPORT

We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity. Our IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN) is: 52-2315231.

We are classified under the following NTEE Codes:
A23—Cultural, Ethnic Awareness

Our bylaws restrict our administration costs to 10% or less of our total budget. This means that at least 90% of all donations to the Institute are spent on the delivery of special events and our educational programs to the individuals served.

MAKE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION AND
BECOME A FRIEND OF THE INSTITUTE

Become a Friend of the Gatherer Institute through a single gift, or by making a recurring donation to the program, and play a vital role in our ongoing projects to protect nature and build a better world.

Why become a Friend of the Institute?

With a single or monthly recurring donation through your credit card, you can help the Institute grow and deliver its unique programs of respect for the environment and all of life, including self-respect.

You can also make a donation on behalf of or in memory of another person.

Even modest contributions of $15-$25 per month, which are easier for many people to budget, can make a significant difference over time.

Becoming a Friend is Easy

When you make a donation you will be using the "Network for Good" Giving System so you can be certain that your charitable donation is 100% tax deductible. The "Network for Good" guarantees that we are a legitimate charity that is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service and in good standing.

"Network for Good" will process and distribute your donation directly to The Gatherer Institute.

Simply click on the "donate now" button below and you will enter a safe and secure web page at "Network for Good":

We will issue an official tax receipt for any and all donations.

If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation via check or direct bank transfer please email Frank at frank@CareForTheEarth.org.

Do you want to make the world a better place and work as a Volunteer with the Gatherer Institute?

Volunteers must be in good mental health, and be able to commit enough time to complete their assigned tasks. Volunteers under the age of fourteen must be accompanied by an adult. A minimum of 5 hours per week for at least six months of continuous service and a total minimum commitment of 120 hours is expected.

Volunteers will complete a leadership course, and have the opportunity to gain experience and seniority through team leadership and accomplishment of goals.

Prospective volunteers complete an application form, pass a background check, and attend a new volunteer orientation. Volunteers also interview individually to determine a service schedule, and can get advanced training through our email leadership course.

We invite you to email us for an application and look forward to you joining our team as a Volunteer.
