Dear Friend of the CiRCE Institute,
For the past nine years the CiRCE Institute headquarters has been located in a building that we outgrew after the fourth year. We’ve made it work, and are thankful to God for the building, but it has had its limitations. It’s been hard for us to host classes or events, the kitchen is very small, most of the staff is sharing offices with multiple people, and we are unable to practice physical hospitality.
Until now . . . The CiRCE Institute is moving! We’re staying close to our hometown of Concord, NC —moving just a handful of miles out into the country. A generous patron has purchased a building (a log cabin) for us that they are then selling to us at a rate that we can afford. The space is nearly 3x bigger than what we currently have and solves the problems listed above (plus more!) and also gives us space to dream about the future.
You have already contributed 30k to our building fundthat will cover a large portion of the following upgrades and fixes to the building.We are looking for an additional 10-15k to cover the remainder of the cost.
- The entire inside of the building is being repainted
- The floors are being replaced
- Encroaching overgrown plants are being trimmed or removed
- Inspection issues are being fixed
- All new lighting is being installed
In addition to the immediate need of 10-15k we have identified further needs and upgrades that we are asking for your help with.
- Exterior rotten/broken log replacement and stain – 12-25k
- Kitchen Upgrade – 10-15k
- Back Door Fire Escape – 5k
- Water Filtration System – 3-6k
- Fire Suppression System – 10-15k
- Garage Door Replacement – 2-4k
- ADA Compliant Ramp – 3k
