Faerie Camp Destiny

Faeries and Friends: 

Thanks to you, we are making steady progress toward our fundraising goals. 

This campaign has been updated to reflect budget updates and priorities set during the Destiny Annual Business Meeting, held April 17-18th 2021. 

Thanks to the generosity of donors in 2020, we can kick off this year knowing our basic operating expenses (insurance, taxes, road repairs, propane, media and bookkeeping services, etc.) are covered, and we can initiate essential kitchen repairs. That's awesome! 

And - we need $30,000 to complete essential work and sustain Destiny for future years. Can you help us get there? 


Goal 1: $15,000 ASAP

Keep Destiny Insured and Open! 
No insurance, no Destiny. During the Annual Meeting, the community consented to moving ahead on upgrades required to maintain our existing insurance: replacing our fire extinguishers, installing a hood and fire suppression system, and finishing the west kitchen wall. We've raised nearly $6k so far through this campaign, help us get the rest of the way!! 


Goal 2: $10,000 by August 1 

Tend to Critical Land Projects
After a long winter, the land needs some serious TLC. A portion of land has been clear cut, all of which must be manually cut down, mulched, and removed. The storage shed cover, guarding all our tools and equipment, didn't make it through a recent wind storm and must be replaced. Road repairs are an annual expense ranging from 2-5k. And we intend to upgrade our outdoor handwashing stations and possibly get more port-o-potties to support future visits on the land.


Goal 3: $5,000 by April 2022

Preparing to Gather Again 
We're all dreaming of the possibilities for gathering on the land together again. After two years of no Gathering income, help us ensure Gathering Plan-it has resources to make the dream possible in 2022. Our ability to operate as a NOTAFLOF is made possible by the generosity of those able to give coin.  

We invite you to learn more about Destiny's 2021 budget and priorities by participating in Land Use, Fundraising, and/or Gathering Plan-itary calls, and our quarterly Business Meetings! 


HOW TO DONATE

We're asking Destiny Faeries and friends to dig deep and donate some coin to support these endeavors. We seek donations of $6-$6,000+ to help us reach our goals.

Funds sent through GoFundMe are sent directly to Destiny via PayPal.

If preferred, checks can be mailed to Faerie Camp Destiny
PO Box 517
Chester, VT 05143

Or give directly through our website http://www.faeriecampdestiny.org/drupal/donate 

All donations are Tax Deductible. (Email [email redacted] for a tax deduction letter). 

However you choose to give, your contribution will be reflected in our progress toward our $30k goal. 


In addition, we're asking Faeries who are able to sign up for recurring monthly donations via EFT or PayPal. $5-$25 per month really adds up when we do it together! Recurring funds provide a reliable source of income to cover basic expenses, and are critical to Destiny's long-term sustainability.

With gratitude and appreciation,

Fundraising Moon

Each year the bulk of Destiny's operating budget comes from hosting gatherings. We also receive donations from dozens of faeries throughout the year. This year  the land is closed due to COVID-19 and all gatherings cancelled until further notice. We've scaled back operations to a bare minimum with only a handful of stewards at Destiny to maintain the land and infrastructure. We need to raise $13,000 to cover this year's operations so faeries will be able to gather and celebrate on the land in future years.

The telethon is part of our first online Lammas Gathering Register and see the full schedule at https://lammas2020.eventbrite.com/ 

All donations will go directly to Faerie Camp Destiny Inc, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to sustaining this magical place and the community that convenes on it.
