NOVEMBER 30, 2021
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement designed to transform communities and the world. When so much attention is given to what divides us, generosity brings us together across races, faiths, and political views.
GivingTuesday is an opportunity for you to come together with people in the Sacred Kashi community and around the world to thank, help, give, show kindness and share. We each possess a deep reserve of generosity to make a difference—your time, your kindness, your skills, your voice are all things you can give in addition to tax-deductible charitable donations.
Here are 5 ways to participate in GivingTuesday. We invite you to start today:
Be Kind: Everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts—whether it’s helping a neighbor, advocating for justice, sharing a skill, or being friendly. Offer what you can to brighten someone’s day!
Donate Online: Use the red buttons on this page between November 6, 12AM ET and November 30, 11:59PM ET to Donate for GivingTuesday and receive a chance to win an original art piece by Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati, founder of the ashram. See prize drawing rules [PDF]
Get Matched on Facebook: Facebook will match the FIRST $8M (up to 100%) in qualifying donations made via Facebook on November 30 beginning at 8AM ET. First-come, first served! Last year that took less than a minute! As a special incentive the first 10 donors to Sacred Kashi via Facebook will also receive a silver pendant.
Sign Up for Amazon Smile: This program donates to your favorite charity at no cost to you. Navigate to smile.amazon.com to shop as you normally would on Amazon—no more or less. Amazon will then donate 0.5% of eligible purchases to the charity you designate. More than 1 million charities participate, including Sacred Kashi. To sign up and support Sacred Kashi year round, visit smile.amazon.com and select “Kashi Church Foundation” as your preferred charity.
Be Grateful: Practicing gratitude towards yourself and others boosts optimism, improves sleep, and helps us feel connected to community. Tell someone how much you love them, notice the beauty in nature, compliment a friend, say thank you, send loving-kindness to your enemies, call an elderly neighbor and appreciate their presence. Every act of gratitude makes the world a little better.
Every dollar you give to support Sacred Kashi is used to feed everyone and share pathways to a healthy, sustainable, awakened life.
Sacred Kash grows sustainable, organic meals to share with food-insecure individuals, families, and seniors in a community atmosphere. Everyone is welcome regardless of gender expression, sexual orientation, race, color, faith, age, abilities, or circumstances.
In the community gardens and nursery, groups learn regenerative gardening and permaculture practices they can use at home to support nutrient density and enjoy community collaboration.
Online and outdoors, people gather to move, meditate, chant, pray, learn, and listen in community.
People seeking to embody mindfulness, healthy lifestyles, and inner growth come to learn and practice living from an open heart and creating sustainable communities.
The Sacred Kashi kitchen capacity is growing to meet community needs. Outdoor dining is expanding, walk-in coolers and an ice maker will be installed, and a much need new roof will protect all.
Your donation is fully tax-deductible and will continue to make a big difference as Sacred Kashi embraces one heart at a time and shares pathways to an awakened life.
