Hooray!
In just a few weeks it will be Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage’s 18th birthday, and we want to celebrate with you. So we decided to give you a birthday gift: the chance to win a prize!
On October 1, 1997, Dancing Rabbit’s founders bought this beautiful land for our community, launching 18 years of creative experimentation and life-changing education. If you donate this month, there’s a double benefit– not only will you support our nonprofit’s work teaching people about deep sustainability, but you’ll also get a chance to win a gift.
Ecovillagers and friends have donated an amazing collection of items (see below for details!), and soon we’ll randomly choose the lucky winners. Want to be one of them? Here’s how:
Make a donation by Dancing Rabbit’s birthday, October 1st, and you’ll automatically be entered to win unique gifts straight out of Rutledge, Missouri! You’ll be entered in all the drawings at and below your donation level.
We’ll even send a surprise gift to the first 18 donors, regardless of how much you donate!
This summer our nonprofit won our first-ever grants from foundations who agree that our work is a critical piece of creating a truly sustainable world. While the ecovillage is financially self-supporting, our nonprofit can only continue to do cutting-edge research, offer talks and workshops around the country, and train tomorrow’s eco-leaders if people like you continue to support us.
Please make a donation today, be entered to win, and set us on course for the next 18 years of creating sustainable communities everywhere.
Cheers,
Ma’ikwe Ludwig
Executive Director
Dancing Rabbit, Inc.
P.S. Remember, your donations to Dancing Rabbit, Inc. are tax-deductible (minus the value of anything you win). Please make your donation now so we can keep learning and teaching how to build a sustainable culture. We need your help!
