Support us
If this place has mattered — help it stay.
A gift to Lifestyle America Social Club, a 501(c)(3), helps us buy a Hudson Valley home and keep class nights within reach. You are not buying a membership or a vote. You are helping a building belong to the people who use it.
The campaign
Build Our Home — open now
We're raising to purchase The Lodge's permanent Hudson Valley building. We give through Zeffy, which doesn't take a cut from us, so more of your gift lands where you meant it.
Give money
One time or monthly. You'll get a receipt. If you want to give property, stock, or a multi-year pledge, email us first so we can do it cleanly.
Give time
Hosts, setup, teachers — that's how fees stay low. Apply for membership first. If you teach, send a presenter application too.
Lifestyle America Social Club Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Gifts are generally tax-deductible to the extent the law allows. We don't sell names. A gift does not buy membership or a vote.
Where it goes
You can read this list in one sitting.
If you need the gift restricted, say so on Zeffy or in an email. We'll track it that way.
| Use | What it buys |
|---|---|
| The building — first | Down payment, closing, and making a Hudson Valley education center fit to teach in. |
| Keeping nights affordable | Classes and workshops at $10 for members. Hosted evenings $20–$40. So a tight month isn't the reason someone stays home. |
| Hosts | Training, first aid, the people who make a hosted room possible. |
| The calendar | Four to six educational nights a month, Family Days, and online sessions for people farther away. |
| Not this campaign | Eastern Tennessee waits. We won't raise for a second campus while this one is rented. |
