Donor Dollars in Action

Your donations bring philosophy to life by helping us create opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to explore, wonder, play, listen deeply, think clearly, reason well, and fall in love with a life of learning.

Philosophy does not just make us better thinkers, it makes us better people.

Through philosophy, your are contributing to the vibrancy, resilience and thoughtfulness of our communities by bringing: life to curiosity and reason, structures for engaging in reflection and civil discourse, grounds for learning from and with one another, and soil for cultivating an enriched and flourishing “ecosystem of the soul.”


By investing in philosophy you are investing in community.”
