We are very happy to announce that a member has offered a challenge matching gift. Here's how it works: if donations totalling $5,000 are given by August 31, $5,000 will become $10,000. Multiply your contribution and join the challenge! The intention is to raise not only funds but also interest in Pariyatti's work. To stimulate broad-based interest, the donor will give an additional $1,000 if at least 50 supporters give $25 or more towards this goal during the summer challenge campaign.

Pariyatti relies on donations to bridge the gap between book sales and the costs of offering our services, including publishing and importing books. This year an additional $75,000 is needed from other sources. The Board fundraising committee is inviting friends of Pariyatti to help. You might ask five friends to contribute as they are able, encourage them to purchase books directly from Pariyatti, become a member, or offer another challenge grant. Also, many employers will match donations to nonprofits; this will multiply by four the value of a gift!

Donations can be made online or by calling 360.978.4998, 9 to 5 Pacific time, weekdays. Your support will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
