The CAFE Sustainer Program
We hope you will support us by joining our
loyal group of CAFE Sustainers.
A CAFE Sustainer is a person who pledges to regularly
donate to CAFE by making specific donations on a specified
schedule using the secure services of PayPal.
By pledging to make monthly donations over the course of
one year, you allow us to project our income for the future,
and know that we will have the funds coming in to support
our educational activities. Because your Sustainer pledge is
ongoing, we can plan and do our work more efficiently,
spending less money on fundraising, and more money on
the programs that carry out the causes you have chosen to
support.
To become a Sustainer, you simply decide the amount of
your monthly donations, and decide which CAFE Project
Fund you want to support (for information on the various
Project Funds
). Then, you authorize the
secure PayPal site to use a credit card (or your personal
PayPal account) to make the specified monthly transactions.
Since the amount of your Sustainer donation pledge will be
at least $120 per year, you will qualify for a 20% discount in
the cost of attendance at CAFE sustainability workshops for
one calendar year following the date of your pledge.
To become a CAFE Sustainer, please
CAFE DONATION FUNDS OPTIONS
CAFE currently accepts donations to four different funds:
The Sustainablilty Education Fund: This fund is dedicated to the
support of CAFE’s activities to educate residents of the North Coast
(and, by extension, the larger world) in learning to lead sustainable
lives. Our programs are graduated in level, starting with “Sustainable
Thinking” (teaching people to reorient their thinking so that, with minor
changes in lifestyle, they can lower their impact on the world) --
through “Sustainable Living” (helping people to change their lifestyles
so that they significantly lower their environmental impacts) -- and
building to “Sustainable Being” (advanced programs to help people to
achieve fully sustainable lifestyles.)
The Transit-Oriented Developement Fund: This fund is dedicated to
the support of CAFE’s activities in planning and educating the public
concerning transit-related issues, and the benefits of public transit.
The Pat Wiggins Fund for Smart Growth and Open Space: This fund,
honoring the memory of State Senator Pat Wiggins, supports CAFE’s
activities in planning and education concerning the interrelated issues
of smart growth and open space.
The CAFE General Fund: This fund is used to support the daily
activities of CAFE in meeting our mission goals and also for
supplemental support of our transit-oriented and sustainablilty
education activities.
When you make your donation, you will be acked to designate which of the
funds you want to support. If you choose not to make a specific choice for
your donation, it will be applied to the CAFE General Fund.
