We appreciate your support!
As a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization (NGO), CEMPROC relies on contributions and grants from individuals, organizations, agencies, foundations, and corporations to help finance its programming and operations. Contributions in the United States are tax-deductible. Becoming a CEMPROC donor is a great way of showing your solidarity with the process of building a more peaceful society in the Western Hemisphere! It is easy to do either by e-mailing us to obtain the address to send a contribution, or on-line using the secure PayPal donation button at the bottom of this page. We especially encourage you to consider one of the following giving programs:
Becoming a CEMPROC Patron is one of the most
effective ways that you can support our organization without putting too much pressure
on your budget. Patrons commit to contribute $300, which can be divided into monthly payments
of $25/month for a year, quarterly payments, or a one time contribution.
The annual gift is
significant enough to be of enormous benefit to a small nonprofit in the early
stages of its development, but because the contributions can be spaced out over a
year, it is more feasible for the donor; best of all, it gives us an opportunity
to recognize the generous patrons who support CEMPROC. The
Patron will receive a free CEMPROC T-shirt as a token of our appreciation, and all Patrons
receive the CEMPROC newsletter and a copy of the Annual Report. To become a CEMPROC patron,
please contact us by e-mail at info@cemproc.org
indicating your name, address, and interest in joining the program.Of particular interest to religious groups,
churches, and individuals is our Pastors for Peace sponsorship program. Organizations,
groups, or individuals have the opportunity to sponsor one or more church leader in a
poor, marginalized, or rural area, particularly in Latin America, so that he or she may
receive an intensive, 20-hour conflict resolution training course in his/her own community.
This is an important program, because religious institutions are often the first resources
that people in conflict turn to, so it is important that the leaders in these institutions
have the capacity to help the parties in conflict as they seek a solution to their problem.
The cost of sponsoring one student for this intensive and life-changing course is $55. Click
here for an outline of the contents of the training course and
for comments from church leaders who have participated in previous courses. After the
completion of the course, sponsors will receive a letter of appreciation from the student(s) that they
supported as well as an on-line summary of the course and photos. In order to find out more, or to sponsor one or
more Pastors for Peace students by mail or with an on-line payment through our secure Pay Pal partner,
please see the Pastors for Peace page. Feel free to contact us at
info@cemproc.org with any questions.
Blessed are the Peacemakers!
This holiday season, what better way to tell your friends and family
that you love them than to give the Gift of Peace? This is one gift
that keeps on giving as it makes a difference in the lives of people
in need both in the U.S. and in Latin America. The Gift of Peace is
a financial contribution in honor of or in memory of someone you care
about, recognized by a special greeting card. With a minimum
contribution of $50, we will also send a beautiful, handcrafted, stained
glass CEMPROC dove ornament (see ornament pictured with wreath). To find
