Support Our Ministry

Thank you to the many supporters of Vallombrosa Center!  Through your continued generosity we are able to provide scholarships to those who otherwise would not be able to attend a retreat or workshop. Any form of donation greatly supports our Ministry, whether it be for our gardens, shrines, and beyond.

Vallombrosa Center welcomes gifts in many ways:

Matching Funds

Many corporations offer a Matching Gift program which allows employees to increase the amount they give to a charitable organization.    Each corporation or corporate foundation has specific qualifications for eligible charities. To find out more about your employer’s Matching Gift program, ask your Human Resources representative for a Matching Gift Program application form and the company’s guidelines for participation.
