What
is the We Share Foundation Benefactors program?
The We Share Foundation is a leader in providing humanitarian support
worldwide. The Foundation strives to make a positive impact on the lives
of those in need through compassionate programs that span the globe.
Worldwide, volunteers donate tens of thousands of hours and more than
a million dollars each year. The We Share Foundation supports them by
operating service programs and special projects and by offering technical
support, education, information, and publications. The We Share Foundation
Benefactors program offers people with foresight and wisdom a way to
improve and expand Quota's worldwide service impact with generous gifts
or bequests.
What
is the minimum Benefactor donation?
The minimum Benefactor donation is $1,000. Donations are accepted in
Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and United States currencies. Gifts
can also be made via stock donations or bequests. For each additional
$5,000 donation, you climb one Benefactor level, plus we add one diamond
to your gold Benefactor pin. Benefactor levels can be added at the time
of your original donation or at any time in the future. To view a list
of current Benefactor donors and their current level of affiliation,

Do
you offer a Benefactor donation payment plan?
Yes. We offer two options:
Option 1: If you would like to become a Benefactor
immediately, you can complete our Benefactor pledge form and receive immediate
recognition as a new Benefactor. This plan requires consecutive monthly
pledge payments ($100 per month minimum) that the We Share Foundation can
deduct from your credit card or you can mail as a check. The pledge form
is located on the We Share Foundation Benefactor sign up form. To print
a copy that you can complete and mail with your initial donation of $100
or more, click here. You can
also use this program to add "levels" to your existing Benefactor
membership.
Option 2: The second option the We Share Foundation
offers is our Benefactors Stepping Stones program, whereby you can make
Benefactor donations at your own pace over one or multiple years in
any amount you wish. We will keep a record of your Benefactor account,
and when you reach the minimum $1,000 donation level, you will receive
Benefactor status and all benefits, including the exquisite gold Benefactor
pin. You can also use this program to add "levels" to your
existing Benefactor membership. There is no time limit to this program
and you will receive quarterly account statements. To learn more and
