Celebrating Your Giving Spirit

Because of our generous donors, Cherry Hill Seminary is starting the year strong and healthy!

This year 83 wonderful supporters helped us raise more than $20,000, or nearly 20% of our annual budget. Some of you are monthly recurring givers, others simply stepped up when asked and dug a little deeper. We love how the Votaries Alumni Circle harnessed the Giving Tuesday energy on December 2 to take us over the top! If your name is not in the list below let us know so we can blow your horn. And if you meant to do something before now, it’s never too late to press the button below.

Shifting the Balance

Help us shift the balance towards an ever-stronger, ever better Cherry Hill Seminary.

At the autumn equinox, Cherry Hill Seminary pauses to reflect on this year. Even in these uncertain times, we have flourished. For example, thanks to your investment in quality education we were able to:

  • Pioneer a Pagan SpiDir (Spiritual Direction Certificate) cohort, which began their two-year journey towards offering their own services as a spiritual director.
  • Launch Coming to the Center, an online interview series with thought leaders, scholars, & experts in Pagan spirituality.
  • Engage a consultant to review our entire curriculum, map learning outcomes, and develop a guide for ongoing management of our programs.
  • Initiate our search for a new academic dean as Dr. Candace Kant prepares for retirement.

Giving is a fundamental part of showing up for the CHS community and showing others that investing in quality education and transformative spiritual growth is essential to our future. By making a contribution, you become part of our students’ fearless learning.

By asking you to give, we hope to show you that we are serious about being a force for good, serving the spiritual needs of those around us, bringing healing where we may, and developing the next generation of Pagan leaders.

We are thankful for community members, just like you, who understand the value of quality education and how it can shape the future for the better. Two generous donors have offered to match every dollar raised between now and Samhain, up to $10,000 USD! That means that your gift will automatically be doubled.

Your gift will put us in a stronger position to add the academic dean’s new salary to our 2022 budget.
Your contribution, of any size, ensures that CHS is around to provide quality education for years to come.
