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, click here*.

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.
