We invite you to deepen your relationship with the Institute and its wonderful community of alumni, friends, and faculty. Your contribution will bring special invitations throughout the year to bring you closer to people who share your values and interests, as well as concerns and hopes for the future.
Private support plays a powerful role in a small, young institution without a large endowment.
Gifts help us to attract outstanding faculty, recruit bright and talented students, and improve our library. All donors are recognized through the CIIS Circle of Friends. In 1999, Friends in the Gold Circle hosted three events. The first, a black-tie gala at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, brought together more than 200 donors and friends in recognition of the Institute's thirtieth anniversary. Steve Donovan, former trustee and now president of the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, hosted a holiday reception for the Circle of Friends at his home in the Presidio last December.
