Br. David’s Centennial Campaign

He gave us a vision for living. Help us pass it on to the next generation.

On July 12, our founder Br. David Steindl-Rast will celebrate his 100th birthday. He has dedicated his life to showing the world that gratefulness is more than a feeling — it is a way of life that counteracts the violence, greed, and fear that are defining our times. It is our shared work to ensure that Br. David’s vision of a more grateful world comes to fruition for the next generation and beyond.

That’s why six generous donors have decided to make a $50,000 matching gift in Br. David’s honor. Every dollar you give today will be doubled. Give now to ensure Grateful Living is here for the next generation.
