Ways to Give
SUPPORT LUMERA HEART PROJECT
Caregivers give everything.
Your support helps us give back.
Lumera Heart Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to family caregivers. Every dollar you give keeps our programs free, our facilitators trained, and our reach growing.
There is no "right size" gift, only a community of people who believe caregivers deserve more.
WHY IT MATTERS
Nearly 1 in 4 of us are caregiving right now.
Nearly 63 million American adults are providing unpaid care for a family member or loved one right now, often without training, without a real break, and without anyone in their daily life who truly understands what they’re carrying.
Lumera Heart Project exists to change that: free, accessible community programs today and restorative retreats designed entirely around the caregiver, coming soon.
YOUR SUPPORT FUNDS
No cost virtual gatherings: Table Talks (weekly), and Heart Sessions (monthly, launching in Fall 2026)
Trained, paid facilitators who hold space safely
Scholarships for caregivers who couldn't otherwise afford retreat tuition can still attend
Our first restorative retreat, with a $25,000 seed-fund goal underway

HOW TO GIVE
Four paths into this work.
Choose what fits you. There's no wrong door here, and every path supports the same mission
NAMED SPONSORSHIPS
Name a program. Make it yours.
If you'd like your gift tied to a specific program, with your name on it, these named sponsorships offer prominent recognition and a clear story to tell. Each one funds a real cost we'd otherwise need to raise, like facilitator stipends, speaker thank-you gifts, or the materials caregivers receive when they show up.
Caregiver Care Package Sponsor
$2,500
per year
Fund a full year of speaker thank-you swag, retreat welcome boxes, and caregiver care packages. Recognition on care package inserts and on our website.
TABLE TALKS • GROUP SPONSORSHIPS
Or sponsor a specific caregiver community
Table Talks runs weekly sessions across different caregiver communities. Instead of underwriting the full program, you can sponsor a single community, putting your name on the group that resonates most with your mission. Each community sponsorship includes "presented by" recognition on every session's welcome slide, in calendar reminders and emails, and in our annual report.
GIVING CIRCLES
Or join our circles of giving
If you'd rather support our whole mission than a single program, our giving circles do exactly that. Your gift is unrestricted, so we put it where caregivers need it most, when they need it most. This is also the closest partnership we offer: ask us anything about where the money goes.
The Lumera Circle
$25,000
Our most generous partnership level. Prominent recognition across our website, programs, and annual report, plus the option to co-design something new: a retreat scholarship fund, a year of programming, or an idea of your own.
Lighthouse
$10,000
Lighthouses light the way for everyone behind them. Recognition on our website, in our annual report, and at our programs. Plus, an invitation to our annual partner gathering.
Lantern
$5,000
Lanterns carry light from one place to another. Recognition on our website and in our annual report, plus partner-only updates throughout the year.
Spark
$1,000
Every spark starts something. Recognition on our website and in our annual report, plus quarterly team updates.
Every gift, at any level, is welcomed and meaningful. There’s no wrong way to show up for this work. Monthly recurring donors are recognized at the circle their annual giving reaches.
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
We're raising $25,000 for our first retreat.
Our seed fund will cover venue, programming, trained facilitators, and a tuition fund so caregivers can attend at little or no cost. Every gift moves us closer to opening the doors.
Supporting unpaid and family caregivers through community, wellness, and rest.
