Where to Give

Please choose where you would like to direct your gift:

The 2009 Parliament
Over 8,000 participants will come to Melbourne for the Parliament for seven days and participate in approximately 450 events including keynote addresses, seminars, conferences, debates, performances, concerts and exhibitions.

Partner Cities Network
This program will target 70 cities around the world to become Partner Cities to build self-sustaining local inter-religious movements. The Council will provide tools, consultation and certification to help cities introduce activities locally. A state-of-the-art social networking technology program will help us connect individuals in towns, villages and cities around the world to each other.

Ambassador Program
This initiative will recruit committed individuals who will represent the Council and help engage their personal communities and networks through outreach to attract more friends and members who also want to work for the common good.

Regional Gatherings
Modeled after our international Parliament, this initiative creates a framework for holding regional interfaith events/gatherings, giving voice to those who have not been heard before in a public environment where all groups are given equal acknowledgment and mutual respect.

Scholarship Program
Each year we receive requests from passionate and committed individuals who are struggling financially and do not have the resources to participate in Council programs and activities. In response to the generosity of our membership, we are creating a scholarship fund to help others who need financial assistance.

General Fund
Please direct my gift wherever the need is greatest!

 

Your support will enable us to continue providing programs and services locally, regionally and internationally.  THANK YOU!
