Mediators Foundation Inc

Hi, I’m Brady Herbers, and I'm raising funds to support the incredible work of the Mediators Foundation Inc. Their mission is to foster leadership for a peaceful, just, and sustainable world by identifying, supporting, and connecting visionary leaders. In an age marked by division, their commitment to building bridges across social, political, and cultural divides is more vital than ever.

My research shows alarming trends:

- 80% of Americans can't agree on basic facts anymore

- 65% feel exhausted when thinking about politics

- Only 10% feel hopeful about our political future

Your contributions will directly empower this mission. Each donation can help:

Every bit helps! Let's come together to support the Mediators Foundation Inc. and their transformative work. This campaign is part of my Contemporary Issues capstone project at Waverly-Shell Rock High School. Thank you for your generosity!

Hello everyone! We are grateful for your contributions toward Arapaho Language & Culture Camps! This fundraiser is for continued language and culture revitalization plans to extend to Camp 2025 and planning all the way into 2026! Camp 2025 will be held in July, when Arapaho elders and students will be in their ancestral homelands of Snow Mountain Ranch and nearby areas, including Estes Park and the Rocky Mountains. These educational experiences will help students learn Arapaho history, language, culture, science, reading, and writing (English and Arapaho). Elders will teach students prayer, values, and language. Students will be able to know who they are and where they come from and will have this knowledge for the rest of their lives. They will be going into the Rocky Mountain National Park to visit the places they lived for thousands of years!

Attendees of Camps 2022 and 2023 shared the following about their experience:

“We felt healed to just stand on this land.”

“In the beauty and the spirit, we could feel our people knew that place. We felt safe there.”

“We could hear the songs of our ancestors in the wind through the trees and feel their footprints as they walked in this place.”

"We learned that in the Sand Creek Massacre all our people wanted was peace."

"Thank you to the elders for sharing stories in our language."

"I live in a city with light pollution, and this was the first time I have seen stars like this."

“We don't want to leave. This our home.”

“We would stay all summer if we could.”

In support of this event, Right Relationship Boulder (a local non-profit under Mediators Foundation) is seeking donations. Please support us in making this a healing, educational stay for Arapaho elders and students. Blessings and prayers for all who donate. May you receive abundance for your generosity!
