Pillar Fundraising

We know you believe in PILLAR and its mission to offer educational programs to the retirees and other interested individuals in the Pikes Peak Region. It takes more than luck to keep PILLAR afloat. Class fees are kept modest in order to make classes affordable, thus class fees do not cover all the operating expenses and allow little room for growth. We hear from you what a great asset PILLAR is to the community and how it has enhanced your life. We need you to help support this valuable educational program today and for the future. All contributions are tax-deductible.

Join the PILLAR Platinum Club

In conjunction with the annual giving campaign, PILLAR has a Platinum Club. For those who contribute $1000, we will add your name to the Platinum Club Member list in each quarterly PILLAR Preview beginning with the spring issue, send you coupons for twelve free two-hour classes (three each quarter) that you can use personally or give as a gift to a friend, and we will add you to our member list so you can attend all the member-only events. Plus, you will be invited to some Platinum Club Member events arranged just for you. You receive a tax-deduction as a result of your Platinum Club Membership.

Did you retire from a company that offers volunteer incentives?

Exxon/Mobil is one example of a company that offers a Volunteer Incentive Program. For each twenty hours of volunteer service to a non-profit organization per quarter, they donate $500 to the recipient organization. Be sure to contact the firm you retired from, even if they have since been re-organized or purchased by another company. They just may have a similar program. We are happy to work with you to explore this opportunity. It is a great way to volunteer and raise money for PILLAR.
