Session Overview

Commonweal is a health, environment, and justice nonprofit in California. We have been very fortunate during COVID to retain much of our usual funding in addition to obtaining PPP and PPP2 funding.

We have now found that we are eligible for ERTC in an amount that will be significant for our organization. While we are incredibly grateful to get ERTC funding, Commonweal is spending our usual time-restricted income in addition to PPP2 funds. Right now, we do not need to use the ERTC funds for current operations. What Commonweal really needs is future general support funding. Is it acceptable to contribute the ERTC funds to a DAF controlled by the Board Chair and Executive Director and restricted to supporting Commonweal? We want to draw down as operations require funding.

Nonprofit Overview

Commonweal started with a vision. In 1975, Michael Lerner was walking at the edge of the small coastal town of Bolinas just north of San Francisco. He looked out across grasslands and woods at an old RCA radio transmitter facility on a bluff overlooking the ocean. He imagined that this site could be a center for work in healing people and healing the earth. Commonweal was given a 50-year lease on 60 acres as the site became the southern end of the Point Reyes National Seashore. Commonweal’s site includes a main office building, our Retreat Center, and a permaculture garden.

Commonweal works in three core fields—health and healing, art and education, and environment and justice. Within those fields, Commonweal incubates and supports a dozen different programs including programs in cancer, health professional education, environmental health, adult learning, yoga, healing nutrition, permaculture gardening, and juvenile justice. Commonweal reaches thousands of people regionally, nationally and globaly.
