Thank you so much to all of you (in Helena and beyond!) who helped us not only reach…but surpass our goal of $3k for Greater Helena Gives 2023. Because of you, we raised $3,550 for for philosophy in the community. We are so grateful to you all…and to Helena Area Community Foundation for your wonderful work putting on this giving day event for Helena non-profits!
WHAT YOUR DONATIONS ARE HELPING TO SUPPORT
A lot goes into putting on programs in the community. In addition to the public-facing side of things, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work that has to get done in order for a program to take flight. From honoraria and curriculum development, to materials, logistical planning, and more…your contributions are helping to support all elements of our philosophy in the community programs.

ABOUT OUR PHILOSOPHY IN THE COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
![Facebook Cover_Enriching Lives 6](https://merlinccc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facebook-Cover_Enriching-Lives-6.png)
Our philosophy in the community programs are free to the public and support critical, creative thinking, the exchange of ideas, and the application of philosophy to everyday life. More broadly, they are opportunities for people of all backgrounds and ages (from children to elders) to gather, to learn from and with one another, and to uniquely cultivate their personal and civic selves.
