THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO SUPPORT ChI
Make a Donation
One is to make a donation. The Chaplaincy Institute is a non-profit organization supported solely by student tuitions and fees and by tax-deductible donations. In order to keep our tuitions as low as possible and make our programs available to the greatest number of students, and in order to provide scholarships and important student financial aid and services to students, your contribution is needed. Please help us continue the tradition of bringing interfaith education and spiritual comfort as blessings to our world. If you choose to make a donation, your gift is fully tax deductible according to the IRS, as no goods or services are provided in exchange for this donation.

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
“You may not know it, but it is organizations like The Chaplaincy Institute that will be in high demand in the near future. While the world appears to be “coming undone,” and things will probably get worse before they get better, this will ultimately trigger a wave of aspiration for the “higher human potential” that many have had contact with. As Sri Aurobindo states in the first sentence of his book The Mother, “There are two powers that alone can effect in their conjunction the great and difficult thing which is the aim of our endeavor, a fixed and unfailing aspiration that calls from below and a Supreme Grace that answers from above.” This is a spiritual law of the universe, just as dependable as the physical laws we know of. But, in this case the aspiration will be on the collective scale, and therefore, the response will also be on the collective scale. This descent of Grace or cosmic energy will awaken millions who will then turn to institutions like yours that offer a universal vision of spirituality and truth. This is why I support CHI .”
