Thank you for paying it forward!!!
Racial Equity & Inclusion Fund
In our third year of deepening our vision, Forest and Village is honored to launch a 5k Matching Gift Campaign in support of our new Racial Equity & Inclusion Fund. Thanks to a truly loving and generous donor among us, every contribution made to the fund will be matched dollar for dollar up to 5k. We are so grateful and excited to share about this.
This is specifically a racial equity fund created to support the leadership, participation, and attendance of Black, Indigenous, Latina, Asian American, Pacific Islander and all women of the global majority whose voices, lived experiences, and wisdom are essential to how we move forward together. The intention of this fund is to take tangible steps toward greater racial equity within the Forest and Village community by helping to create more meaningful access, representation, and shared leadership within our summer gathering.
Contributions to this fund will help reduce barriers to participation— including financial and logistical access for historically oppressed identities. We want to honor the time, contributions, leadership, and presence of all cultures whom are invited to share their wisdom and gifts within our gathering.
We believe that building racially equitable and inclusive spaces benefits everyone in our village by strengthening the depth, resilience, and wholeness of our collective experience. This work is part of our ongoing commitment to Seeding Regenerative Culture ~ taking tangible steps toward the kind of community and future we want to cultivate together.
We invite you to support this effort in whatever way feels possible for you. Whether or not you are attending this summer, your gift directly helps expand access and brings co-creation of vision alive.
Will you join us?
When you register, you will find an option to contribute to the Racial Equity & Inclusion Fund. You can also contribute directly through Venmo at @Forest-and-Village (please put Racial Equity Fund in the comment). If you want to contribute by check, please contact villagekeepers@forestandvillage.org. Remember that no amount is too small because every single dollar given will be doubled through this matching campaign.
Thank you for helping us grow a community rooted in belonging, equity, and shared participation.
