Please be generous in helping to underwrite this year’s conference and fund our scholarships. We chose to keep registration costs as low as possible knowing that IHLRN may incur significant losses. If using a check, please mail directly to Cynthia. Thank you.

The IHLRN conferences were started by Virginia Satir over 50 years ago as a way to come together in the community, learn from each other, and have a lived experience of the Satir Model. Now, we need your help in continuing to make this possible. Our operating expenses have been increasing each year. We face new expenses for website administration, insurance, and accounting. We are barely breaking even on our conferences, yet passing these costs on to participants would make our conferences even more expensive and out of reach.   Additionally, the number of participants is decreasing each year as our membership ages and our supporters are unable to travel as easily. While we have made significant strides in attracting new and younger members through our collaboration with Satir Global, the net result is still a smaller base of attendees. The site committee works very hard to find beautiful places at a good price point, however, hotel costs have increased 25% this year alone. Our base of future attendees does not necessarily have the financial resources to afford the kind of conference sites we have all enjoyed in the past. As a community, we need to respond to the “writing on the wall.” IHLRN is not sustainable if our conferences are not affordable!                    To address these challenges, the board has decided to initiate this fundraising campaign: The Legacy Fund. This fund will help underwrite our conferences and provide additional scholarships to attract new and younger attendees who may become part of our community.  An anonymous donor has pledged $10,000 if we can raise a matching $10,000. We ask that you consider giving whatever you can, and if you can, please be generous. Our goal for 2023 is to raise the matching $10,000. IHLRN is a 501c3 non-profit corporation and all donations are tax-deductible. You will receive a tax receipt after you have donated. You may even wish to consider making IHLRN part of your estate plan, donate in honor or memory of someone you love, or set up an annual scholarship in the name of a loved one. (so many of our dearest founding members have passed).  We are grateful for however you can help.Thank you, in advance, for your generosity! Legacy Committee and IHLRN Board
US$1,751.00 received toward our goal of US$10,000.00
Please consider donating to the IHLRN Scholarship Fund. This fund is used to provide financial assistance to those in need to attend the annual conference
A general donation is used to help cover IHLRN operating expenses such as website and PayPal fees, Administrative fees, video conference call subscription fees, etc. A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated.
Our tradition is to provide additional tips for housekeepers, front desk staff, engineers, maintenance staff, gardeners, chefs, cooks, dishwashers and other hotel staff that work with us during the 7-day conference. If you are able, be generous and include tips for these workers.
