Milestones

On November 15, 2021 GTI launched a campaign to raise $300K USD for four young Thai women to attend college and become teachers for at-risk girls.

GTI is excited to announce its first Winter Giving Campaign. Our goal is to raise $300,000 USD to send four young Thai women from disadvantaged backgrounds to a 4-year undergraduate degree program offered by Rajapark Institute in Thailand. After graduating, they plan to return as qualified teachers at the K-12 boarding school that took them in as children. The school supports hundreds of Thai girls who face extreme poverty and hardship.

This giving opportunity is a stepping stone to expanding women’s dignity, power, and influence in Asia, one of the most populous regions in the world.

We’re excited to report that before the end of our fiscal year in June 2021 we made our first round of grants. Since the establishment of the Golden Thread Initiative in October 2019, we’ve been in the start-up phase laying the foundation to accomplish our mission. Even though we haven’t yet begun fundraising activities, GTI received more than $30,000 in donations during the past two years, of which $15,012 was allocated for grant making in fiscal year 2020-21.

These grants, to be used for charitable purposes, were inspired by the full time participants in the Mother Divine program, as well as by women wanting to receive training in advanced programs for self-development or to attend retreats and educational courses.

The $15,012 grant making budget was allocated in the following way:

  • 65% was awarded to the operating expenses of the Mother Divine Program according to the number of full-time participants in each location worldwide
  • 10% was awarded to construction of facilities for the Mother Divine Program
  • 15% was awarded to academic scholarships
  • 5% was awarded to short courses for women’s self development
  • 5% was awarded to advanced TM courses for women

Due to time constraints in processing grant requests, some of the grants were disbursed in 2021-2022.

In April 2021 we received IRS approval of our application for 501(c)3 status. Contributions to GTI are now tax-exempt in the USA. This is an important milestone as we prepare to connect with visionary philanthropists who share our mission to create world peace through the empowerment and enlightenment of women and girls everywhere. Please join us for the exciting next steps by subscribing to our updates.

Transcendental Meditation


The Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique is a simple, natural and effortless mental technique. It is practiced by millions of people worldwide of all ages, vocations and social conditions. TM is not a religion and is practiced by people of many religions. Decades of research verify its benefits for mental and physical health and even its effectiveness at developing the qualities identified with self-actualization, fulfillment and peak performance. See TM-Women.org and TM.org for more information.

 

The TM technique comes from an ancient tradition of knowledge of human potential called the Vedic Tradition. Often considered a spiritual tradition, a more complete analysis reveals that it is a holistic scientific tradition that has led to fundamental concepts in physics, mathematics, medicine, the social sciences, and architecture. The Vedic tradition utilizes various mental and physical techniques to develop human potential including Yoga, Ayurveda and the TM technique.

Mother Divine Program


The Mother Divine Program is administered by independent non-profit, nonsectarian organizations based in the USA, Europe, Asia and New Zealand. It is comprised of an international community of women who practice the Transcendental Meditation® technique and its advanced programs.

 

Established in 1981, the focus of the Mother Divine Program is women’s self-development and inner peace as the foundation for peace in society. The name Mother Divine reflects the universal qualities inherent in women of all walks of life that touch the lives of their families, communities and society as a whole.

The Mother Divine Program offers educational opportunities for women—ranging from weekend retreats to year-long enrichment courses and academic degree programs—in a protected, nourishing environment. More than 2400 women and girls from 60 countries have participated in the Mother Divine Program as of 2019.

Currently courses are offered at small residential campuses on five continents including North America, South America, Europe, Asia (Thailand), and Australasia (New Zealand).

The core groups of the Mother Divine Program are full-time participants practicing the most advanced techniques of TM and modalities such as Yoga and Ayurveda (natural healthcare).
