PTCI

Personal Transformation and Courage Institute

Donate

Since it’s inception in the year 2000, the courses and programs of PTCI have been made possible through the generous financial support of foundations and private donors who deeply believe in importance of personal and planetary transformation.

Amazon Smile

AmazonSmile is very simple to use—all you need is an Amazon account. On your first visit to the site, you will be asked to log in to your Amazon account with your existing username and password (you do not need a separate account for AmazonSmile). You will then be prompted to choose a charity to support.

If you need to search, type in PTCI’s tax ID number: 54-2000505. During future visits to the site, AmazonSmile will remember your charity and apply eligible purchases towards your total contribution—it is that easy.

The Internet address is smile.amazon.com, but the company uses the term AmazonSmile in its explanatory information.

When users shop on AmazonSmile, the retailer’s Foundation contributes 0.5% of eligible purchases to the charity of your choice. This costs you and PTCI nothing. It’s a great way to give just by shopping and supplement other ways of supporting the charity. The small dollar amounts can add up if a lot of people use it.

You must remember to go to smile.amazon.com each time you shop for this to work, so consider bookmarking the site.

You can continue to use the regular Amazon website to browse and put things in your cart, but you must purchase from the AmazonSmile site to make a donation.

Also, you may want to send items your organization says it needs through AmazonSmile Charity Lists. Like any gift registry, nonprofits can create a list of things they need, and you can purchase them and have them sent right to the organization.

Two major sources of support have come from the Rudolf E. Wilhelm Fund of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and from the de Laski Family Foundation. All of the students, volunteers, staff, and course leaders of PTCI are deeply appreciative of these major sources of help.

And it has also been private contributions – ranging for ten dollars to several thousand dollars – from individuals like you that have sustained the organization. These generous donations have allowed us to keep course tuitions affordable and to provide means for us to continually reach out to find new people who would benefit from these programs.

If you would like to join this group of special friends who have made a tax-deductible contribution to PTCI, you can donate using your credit card, check, or sign up to make a monthly, recurring donation.

Online donations will be directed to our new Scholarship Fund (unless you designate otherwise via email to us on the contact form).
