This year, 2023, marks the thirteenth year that Subud Portland has offered up a matching fund for Susila Dharma USA.  They have generously offered a $5,000 matching fund for Susila Dharma USA!

Starting today, they will match all donations made to SD USA, dollar for dollar. Which means:

Marilyn Shirk from Subud Portland shares what her group did to raise the funds:

Subud Portland has had a busy year raising the money for its annual Subud Portland/SD USA Matching Fund. We had a wonderful Silent Auction at Menucha last November with many “little treasurers” donated for the event. The funds generated at Menucha, combined with personal donations from some of our dedicated Subud Portland Members, and the money raised at our spring fundraiser, a Cinco de Mayo Celebration Potluck and Special Items Raffle, added up to our target goal of $5,000 for this year’s Match. Raising the seed money for our Annual Match is not an easy task, but it becomes fun and revitalizing when we have such a dedicated group of Center Members and SD Volunteers.

Now the rest is up to all the Members of Subud USA. Please dig deep and make a donation to double your donation through this year’s Portland Matching Fund for Susila Dharma. This is one of the most important fundraisers for Susila Dharma USA all year long, and we hope that you will embrace the spirit of SD as you show your support for its inspired work in the world.

Deepest thanks,
Subud Portland and its Susila Dharma Volunteers
