Greetings!
As shared by our Board Chair, Teressa Moore Griffin, in the 2022.23 Annual Report, the Institute has a rich history and is in a continued process of growth and evolution. I think my appointment as Executive Director in June 2022, is a profound example of our commitment to both these principles as well as the sustainability of the Institute. I’m so grateful to the Board, our staff and faculty and the wider Core community (represented by our students and alumni) for their show of warm courage as they welcomed me into the fold this past year.
Growth and Evolution
As we look ahead, we are making efforts to expand our reach beyond the traditional practitioner referral model that has kept our doors open for so long. With the support of a Google Ad grant, we will begin offering “1 Day with Core” workshops as a means of expanding our geographic reach while connecting with individuals who are new to our work. Our pilot program will include trainings in Texas, Michigan, New York and Massachusetts– with a hope of continued expansion in the years to come. We are excited to begin reaching out to individuals who have never heard of Core Energetics before!
Sustainability
The Institute continues to benefit from generosity within our community and is excited to begin tapping into the resources and generosity of the world around us. Some recent fundraising highlights include:
Supporting our annual budget through regular giving. Contributions account for nearly 17% of our annual budget.
Surpassing our 22.23 fundraising target by 20%.
Securing our first two Institutional awards/grants.
The introduction of our first Major Gifts committee which brought in $28,000 in gifts from 4 very generous new donors this year!
The success of the Institute is an incredibly collective process– the “it takes a village…”adage applies to communities like ours as well. To our Board, staff, faculty, partners and donors– I truly couldn’t be more grateful! I hope you feel inspired by the pages as you flip through them and how they reflect the impact that has been made by the Institute this past year.
