How Can I Support the DRC?

There are many ways to show your support of local peacemaking.  In addition to making a one-time gift on our website or through the mail, you may also consider:

Monthly Giving and Annual Pledges –Invest in the long-term sustainability of the DRC by making an ongoing monthly gift of $10, $25, $50 or more to the DRC.  Gifts are automatically charged to your credit card on the same day each month.  You may also consider making an annual or multi-year pledge to the DRC.  Like our monthly giving program, pledges are charged to your credit card automatically on a monthly or quarterly basis.  Contact Elaine Vradenburgh to learn more.

Business Sponsorships – Business sponsorships are a great way to get the word out about your business while encouraging peaceful solutions to conflict in our community.  Please click here to learn more about sponsorships.

Combined Fund Drive of Washington State (CFD) – If you are a state worker or retiree, you can give to the DRC through the CFD. Donations are deducted monthly, and help the DRC plan for the year ahead with this guarantee of income. The Dispute Resolution Center of Thurston County's charitable number for giving is 0316167. Learn more about the CFD or donate through the Combined Fund Drive Website.

Planned Giving – You may consider including the DRC as a beneficiary in your estate planning.  We would be proud to steward your legacy in support of a more peaceful community.  Please click here to learn more about planned giving or contact Elaine Vradenburgh. 

In-Kind Support – At the DRC, we know that not everyone can give dollars but may have time, talents or equipment that the DRC could utilize. If you are able to grant any of the items on our wish list, please contact Elaine Vradenburgh. Thank you!

·        Time and Talents – Help with grant writing or host a fundraiser.

·        Supplies – The DRC holds trainings and events during the year that require refreshments including snacks, coffee, chocolates and disposable dinnerware. We appreciate all types of donations.

How will my donation help the DRC?

Good peacemaking is practiced every working day at the DRC.  We strive to empower people to cut through their conflict to build better relations – because good communication and problem solving create new possibilities and new realities for individual, families, work teams, organizations and our whole community.  A gift of any size helps us build stronger communities:

·        $2,000 preserves 117 hours of staff time next year – time we need to develop new trainings, reach out to partner organizations, and mentor volunteers

·        $630 trains two teens, who can then offer mediation to other teens in conflict

·        $250 pays for three days of phone problem-solving, which is free to our callers

·        $100 subsidizes the cost of one parenting plan mediation

·        $50 covers costs to schedule mediators for one week at Small Claims Court

We count on the support of community citizens and businesses like you to assist us with the many needs that are unmet by the sliding scale fees we charge for our services.  Check out what your support helped us accomplish in 2010:  DRC Annual Report.
