Do you have small pagan group or meet-up that would like to support the Open Hearth Foundation and earn the benefits of membership? Start an OHF giving circle.
What is a giving circle?
A giving circle is a pool of donations by a group of individuals who wish to seek to increase awareness of a cause and engage their members in the process of giving.
As a group you collectively decide to support the OHF and each person will donate each time you meet, for either an ongoing or finite period of time.
By pooling your resources as a group you will be able to make a donation of a far greater effect over single, individual donations. Additionally, giving over time has less of financial impact on individuals.
How to give.
As the group leader, you collect donations at each meet-up for the allotted period of time. You can provide these donations to the OHF on an ongoing basis or in a periodic lump sum.
Please note, if you wish to keep track of individuals and the amounts they give, we can provide a donation receipt for tax purposes at the end of the year.
How will your group or meet-up benefit?
Your contributions will provide potential meeting space for future meet-ups and events you group may have, plus you will be able to earn OHF membership status through your donations.
This will allow your members library privileges, discounts at OHF affiliate stores, and discounts on meeting space and OHF programming, as well as a listing and link for your group on the OHF site.
For example, if 6 people give $5 each at your monthly meet-up, over the course of the year you will raise $360. That amount will earn you Open Level Sponsorship status for your group.
