The Unique Appeal of A2Ethics.org: Giving ethics ideas and points of view a permanent  voice -- and place -- in our corner of the world.

Why Give to A2Ethics.org?

Your gift to A2Ethics.org is based on your commitment to give ethics ideas and practices a vital role in the many small matters and large public decisions we all make about how we choose to live in our community.   

What is Your Gift to A2Ethics.org Good For?

A2Ethics.org has several current projects and new initiatives we are asking you to help us fund. Among them our:

• Noteworthy podcast series on iTunes, Working Ethics, popular interviews with people in their 20s and 30s about the ethics of their work. Our new podcast collections, including the Atlas of Ethics, discussions about the influence of place on the work of famous philosophers. 
• Generational Leaders mentoring program, bringing together locals in their 20 to 30s with locals in their 50s and 60s to identify common ethical dilemmas.   
• Ethics without Borders, a biannual community event highlighting those among us whose work across the world emboldens us to speak out for what we value most.
• Michigan Ethics Economy Initiative, career pathway talks with people from around the state who work and volunteer in various ethics-related fields.
• Original, curated productions and exhibits showcasing ethics issues in fresh, remixed, comic, serious, and above all, challenging and provocative ways, from our Designs for Education: Protecting Schools from Attack Exhibit to our Big Ethical Question Slam.

What Is a Good Amount to Give?

Our operating budget of approximately $17,000 over the last four years has covered our start-up expenses and the launch of our website; the very sagacious purchase of an $85.00 microphone, now our only depreciating asset; the broadcast of over 60 audio podcasts; and our sponsorship of  3 public events and 5 community collaborations.

A2Ethics.org is a public nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. One benefit of giving is that your contributions are tax deductible.

Another benefit: our giving goal is manageable. We want to raise $20,000 in 2012--for most nonprofits a mere pittance--but for us, a significant increase in our resources. The success of our Working Ethics series and of the Big Ethical Question Slam gives us the confidence that we are carefully growing--for good. 

Whether you give 10 or 1,000 dollars, however, we value your expectation that we will put your gift to good use.

How Do You Know Your Gift Is Being Put to Good Use?

As a community-based organization, A2Ethics.org relies on community support and your belief in our mission. By giving to A2Ethics.org, you expect us to use your money to maximize your good. As civic ethicists, who try to encourage ethical awareness in our community policies and decision-making, you should also expect us to be financially transparent and to invest your gift wisely ... all the while being ethically aware.

We thank you for your confidence and trust  that we will invest your gift transparently, wisely ... and with ethical awareness.
