EARTH University - Support EARTH

Get Involved

At EARTH we work to strengthen the leaders of tomorrow, but leaders are not just our students; they are individuals around the world who are willing to take action to make a difference. You can be one of those individuals. Whether you volunteer to support EARTH in your own community or travel to Costa Rica to study abroad, intern or take a short course at EARTH's campus, you are taking a step to create positive change in the world. Check out the following ways you can get involved.

Host an Event
EARTH University Foundation relies on the support of individuals like you to raise awareness and donations to support EARTH. There are many ways to host an event. Consider hosting a potluck dinner in your home, school, workplace or congregation. Ask each guest to bring a different dish from around the world and use this as a platform to introduce EARTH University's global impact. Make it more exciting with a slideshow of photos from EARTH. Organize a fundraiser for EARTH University Foundation. Ask a local organic- or sustainable-friendly restaurant to donate a portion of their sales on a selected evening and invite your friends and family to dine out, sharing with them the advances EARTH is making in sustainable farming. For more ideas or for assistance in planning an event contact Michelle Hamner.

Learn at EARTH
EARTH University accepts around 115 full time students each year, many of them from rural or disadvantaged regions. Over the years EARTH has recognized that its programs can be adapted for multiple audiences. EARTH offers several opportunities for its supporters to visit campus and learn alongside EARTH students. Visitors can take classes on EARTH technologies, explore the on-site nature preserve and experience daily life on campus. To find out more visit www.studyabroadearth.org or contact Wendy Judy.

eBay Giving Works
As you begin your spring cleaning we would like to invite you to join the EARTH University Yard Sale. Through our participation in eBay Giving Works EARTH is proud to offer its supporters the chance to make a difference in the world while cleaning out their closets and garages. eBay Giving Works offers an easy way for you to donate through the proceeds of items sold on eBay.

Here's How it Works:
1. Click this link to visit the EARTH University Foundation page on eBay where you can purchase and sell items that will benefit EARTH.

2. To sell items, click the sell link and follow the prompts. It is easiest to use the site if you have a pre-existing eBay account. If you do not have an account, the site will provide instructions for setting one up.

3. You will be prompted to donate from 10-100% of the sale price of the items you list for EARTH. This will occur at the end of the listing process in the "Choose how you'd like to sell your item" area.

4. Sell your item! Once someone purchases it eBay will send your designated donation to EARTH University Foundation and your remaining income to you. You will receive a tax receipt for the amount of the donation. For a more detailed explanation of the eBay Giving Works program, click here.

The site will be available year round so feel free to visit often either to buy or sell items. The staff at EARTH University Foundation has joined the fun, donating 100% of the proceeds from items they had planned to sell this year. If you do not wish to use eBay, there are still many ways to support EARTH University. We invite you to make a powerful and positive impact on the education of deserving young students by making a donation.
