When we started Red Fern, we were already involved in a number of charitable organizations. Our view is that making money to pay the bills is insufficient for sustaining our lives – yes, it is important and necessary, but we should align our work with our values, and make room to donate our time, efforts and income as we can to various causes. And, we think we should be open about this with our clients.
Here’s our approach:
- Social justice initiatives: We donate our time and money to Justice United. Justice United coordinates with other churches and institutions to make progress on county-wide actions.
- Faith-based initiatives: We are active members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Hillsborough, where we have both taken on numerous roles.
- International Education and Development: Steve is a board member of Congo Education Partners, which is (as of this account) the only international support organization for a small technical college in Tshuapa Province, DRC. Read more about CEP here.
