 As Ancient Ways moves into the next 30 years, and Nhimbe for Progress the next 25, we do so realizing that everything we are doing is being held by the spiritual world. It sometimes feels like Life has fragile hands, but, that is just the body and bones.
The spirit is strong and resilient, capable of growth and evolution beyond our imaginations. We embrace the shadow of the past cast behind us and follow the path laid before us with tenacity, compassion and gratitude. May the Light prevail and help us bring balance and harmony within the context of the progress that we seek!

YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

As always, your continued support means everything. The child’s life is the path. Everyone deserves the basics!

HOW TO MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPACT?

  1. Online, by clicking here, or through the office at the number above, a recurring credit card donation can be set up for monthly, quarterly or annually. An equal option is a bank draft that you set up for a recurring check in your bill pay. Either of these approaches lightens our task immensely because the committed funds help make budgeting and planning much easier. Recurring donations help stabilize all of our efforts. Our team counts on you!
  2. If you live in Oregon, check out Bottle Drop. It is a great way to support Ancient Ways. Set up your account and, as you like, you can direct your bottle return deposit to Ancient Ways. Nothing like the small change under the sofa cushions having a big impact!
  3. Check with your employer to see if they have a matching funds program, which can double your donation or if they give based upon your community volunteer hours! This is a superb way to increase your action. We are members of Benevity, which works with many corporations to assist the non-profit sector – Check it out!
  4. If you are 70 ½ and have an eligible IRA, you can donate your required minimum distribution (RMD) to Ancient Ways. This makes an impact!
  5. Become a member of Ancient Ways! (here under the Sustainability section)
  6. Volunteer! We are a grass-roots volunteer-based organization that has many specialized needs…your natural talents can help us meet goals! Simple administrative skills can be an incredible donation . . . do you know Word, Excel, how to upload pictures, etc.? . . . give us a call!
  7. Share us with your friends in whatever way you can . . . help us tell the story !
