A donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent a contribution to ICA-USA for $8,500 (eight thousand five hundred dollars) with some specific instructions. To celebrate her eighty-fifth year, Marge is to designate portions of this $8,500 contribution, in amounts as she sees fit, to the seven major current program areas at ICA-USA. These are:

> - GreenRise Uptown for creating a green culture within the largest nonprofit service center in the Midwest;
> -   Resilient Communities via the “Accelerate 77” program in Chicago neighborhoods;
> -    Service Learning for leadership development with university students;
> -    Learning Basket for early childhood education and family literacy;
> - International Initiatives in support of “peer-to-peer” work with other national ICAs;
> -  Global Archives for preserving and passing-on ICA wisdom to future generations;
> - Technology of Participation (ToP).
