About Our Seasonal Fundraising Campaigns Our campaigns offer a chance to learn about and get involved with ARI through specific themes. We will be sharing content about ARI and our graduates, as well as launching special donation websites.
The theme we want to explore deeply with our supporters this year is “A Time to Heal.” On our wounded lands and in our increasingly divided society, times of healing and healers are deeply needed.
We will run these campaigns three times a year as opportunities to learn and participate alongside ARI. During these periods, we plan to share stories from our graduates and open special websites.
Mar/Apr [Spring (Easter)]: Living kindly on wounded land
Jul/Aug [Summer (Peace Month)]: Living kindly with our neighbors
Dec/Jan [Winter (Christmas)]: Celebrating blessings
Please look forward to it!
Please spread the word to your friends and family. Event details will be announced as they approach, so please check our website for the latest information.
We are looking forward to seeing you all.
