Join Paths to Change in an exciting,
world-changing journey…
We welcome you to partner with Paths To Change by contributing your ideas, connections, time, and money, and by collaborating directly with us on projects as a network partner or as a client. Here are some of the ways that you can get involved:
Opportunities for Donors — As Paths to Change moves forward to implement its expanded mission, build new programs, and formalize its structure, systems, and partnerships, we invite you to participate as a founding donor. Large and small contributions will make a pivotal difference at this juncture in our growth. All donations are tax deductible.
Your donation can make the greatest difference by supporting these two broad areas of endeavor:
- To take Paths to Change to the next level, we plan to carry out visioning, strategizing, networking, and organizational development activities to transform Paths to Change from a network of professionals into a new, expanded nonprofit organization.
Specifically, we plan to take necessary steps to establish Paths to Change as an independent nonprofit organization, including applying for 501(c)3 status, developing the operational structure, building a board, creating administrative systems, hiring staff and consultants, fundraising, and expanding the website. Additionally, we plan to clarify agreements with current network partners; expand our network of trusted, engaged partners and collaborators; and, together, clarify the organizational blueprint for the new nonprofit.
- We would also like to implement an array of new projects. Please bookmark this page and return throughout early 2008 to see the project descriptions take more shape as we confirm project goals, staffing, anticipated budgets and other details.
For now, we can give you a hint that you will find:
- An exciting blend of projects linking Indigenous wisdom & mastery traditions, meditation techniques, and contemporary science;
- Practices for business and social change-agents to reconnect with the Earth in ways that bring individual restoration; and bring new strategies and energy to socially and environmentally-responsible businesses, and to movements for justice and sustainability;
- The creation of a cadre of consultants, facilitators & trainers fusing the best of ancient traditions and modern complexity science… in support of capacity-building among Indigenous peoples, and of making industrialized societies more humane and sustainable;
- A few symposia and retreats bridging human rights and ecological concerns in unprecedented ways;
- And much, much more…
If you are a potential donor and want more immediate details on these projects, feel free to contact Paths to Change Founder & President, Lawrence Ellis, by email or by telephone at 510-444-PATHS (7284).
