This article is a repost of the emailing sent yesterday by Dechen Chöling Director, Konstanze Brockstedt, regarding the first End of Year fundraising campaign launched by our residential centre.
| Dear Shambhala Friends, I write to you to again ask for your support of our End of Year Fundraising Campaign. We have already raised the amazing amount of 23.360 Euros. Thank you for your support! That means we are now only 1.640 Euros away from our goal! Please spread the word, so we can maximise the benefit of the potential matching gift of 25.000 Euros, generously offered to us by the European Donor Group. Any gift you make now will in fact be doubled as a result of this matching gift, so make sure to make your pledge by 31st December, 2018. Even if you have donated already, please consider giving more if this is possible for you, so we can unlock the full matching gift of 25.000 EUR. As a reminder, this is Dechen Chöling’s main opportunity to raise major funds, since we will no longer be included in the Shambhala Day fundraising. For more details on this new fundraising approach please click here. If you wish to make a donation now, please click the button below. |

With love from the Dechen Chöling staff, Konstanze Brockstedt, Dechen Chöling Director With the support of: Veronika Bauer & Katrin Stelzel, Interim Managing Directors for Shambhala Europe Lia Duggan, Campaign Coordinator, Dechen Chöling Faradee Rudy, Development Director for Shambhala ————————————————————————————————————————————— Full information about the different ways to make donations, via cheques, transfers or online, and information about receiving tax-receipts for donations made in France can be found on our website.
