Creating a Culture of Sustainability

Dear Community,

At UWC Costa Rica, we know it can be.  And this is how our fundraising model fits within our new Sustainability Framework:

• The Impact Fund enables our College to always put CARE for people and the planet at the center of our decisions and actions regardless of the financial cost. 
• The Scholarship Fund draws together an inclusive, resilient, and DIVERSE student COMMUNITY by focusing on their potential as future agents of change regardless of their socioeconomic context.
• Every generation of UWC Costa Rica has benefited from the generosity of a community of giving.  By giving forward in support of the CONTINUITY of our programs and in the spirit of RECIPROCITY for the generosity shown to them, you help us live sustainability.
• Our fundraising model is committed to driving a positive economic IMPACT by intentionally prioritizing collaborations with local and sustainable partners, practices, and materials. 
• We transform fundraising and philanthropy, so they are grounded on SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE and are inspired by the 10 principles of Community-Centric Fundraising.

¡Muchas gracias for being part of our community of giving and helping us live Sustainability!

 P.S. We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on fundraising and sustainability!  Email us at development@uwccostarica.org!

P.P.S.  This year, #GivingTuesday will be next week on November 29, and our friends here at GlobalGiving are offering a $1.2 million incentive fund.  The more funds we raise on November 29, the more bonus funds we'll unlock to create even more impact through our programs and shared vision for a more equitable and sustainable future.
