Help us spread the love of learning!
The Catherine Project exists to foster the love of learning and create spaces where it can be practiced. We charge no tuition or fees because we reject the student-as-consumer model and believe that the practice of reading and discussing great books should be available to all regardless of financial circumstances.
Everything we do is a gift offered by those who love the idea of learning for its own sake and wish to make its communal expression more widely available. We invite our community and friends to join us in nurturing that love.
Donation has no bearing on admission to our courses.
The Catherine Project can accept a variety of gifts, including the following:
- Estate gifts
- Gifts from an IRA
- Matching gifts from employers
- Gifts of stock
If you like to learn more about giving to the Catherine Project using these or other methods, please contact Nate Washatka, our director of philanthropy, at nate.washatka@catherineproject.org or 740-501-0073.
