Why Give to Cazimi Collective
Your Impact
Your generosity shares the gift(s) of Cazimi:
To fully manifest our mission of providing a retreat space for folks to reconnect to their most authentic life force, it is urgent that we find a permanent home with infrastructure in place to begin hosting immediately. We are also committed to continually making our offerings more accessible and equitable. Your generosity speeds this progress and makes it possible to host retreats at our temporary location along the way.
With this generosity, your impact can look like:
-
A down payment on a permanent home and land
-
Building infrastructure and furnishings on site
-
Pre-opening salaries and wages for our team
-
Legal, accounting, administrative and communications fees
-
Lowering the barriers to access that could prevent folks from finding their place of belonging at Cazimi
-
Supporting Cazimi’s most sacred duty—the loving hospitality and teaching of an intentional way of life in community
How much should I give to Cazimi Collective?
First, consider where you fit into this Green Bottle infographic.
After you’ve considered your personal financial experience, we invite you to consider what kind of collaboration that best makes sense for you. Cazimi Collective is built on partnerships and relationships, building sustainability with an understanding that the future is a mask for the present–it’s about what we’re capable of today. Community is organized action, not simply a stance or a value to hold as an individual..please ask yourself what role you play in the pursuit of practicing radical compassion for yourself and others..be it through green money and far beyond. Radically applied imagination is welcome :)
If you’ve spent some time ruminating, and still don’t know where to start, we’ve offered the below ranges as a reference point. These percentages are merely suggestions, or starting points, and are in no way prescriptive. Again, we want to encourage folks to give what makes sense for their particular circumstances.
Quarter green bottle: .5-3% of annual income
Half green bottle: 3-8% of annual income or a percentage of savings
Full green bottle: 8%+ of annual income and/or a percentage of savings
