Pay your dues
As a 501(c) 3 non-profit all contributions to the Shawnee Honor Fund are tax-deductible
How much should I give?
There’s no right or wrong amount to give, our best advice is to choose a monthly amount that feels both meaningful and manageable.
Why monthly?
The majority of our support isn’t from grants, foundations, or millionaires. Our lifeblood comes from individuals making manageable monthly contributions.
Our monthly milkweeds give anywhere from $5- $600 per month, and every single gift carries such significance. Every new member sends a message of honor and respect to those our city, state, and country displaced and ignored. Every new involvement adds a voice to the chorus of a new song being sung here on Shawnee homelands- one of repair and relationship.
Consider what you pay for other subscriptions (and who benefits)
Do you pay monthly for a subscription to Amazon Prime that helps to line Jeff Bezo’s pockets? Perhaps there’s another monthly subscription that makes life easier but hurts your conscience? Consider a monthly gift that matches or exceeds some of those other monthly expenses.
Consider a “real rent”.
Don’t own your home but pay a non-native landlord rent each month? Make monthly contribution of 5%, 10%, or 20% of that amount to SHF.
Consider the property tax that non-native government collects.
Use the land tax calculator to the right!
In Jefferson County, Kentucky the average property tax is roughly 1% of property value (~$2,300 average). Consider 1% of your home value. Even better, break up that amount into a monthly donation!
