Statement of Purpose
Our purpose is to ensure that the educational material authored by JG Bennett
be continuously available to all who wish to learn from it.

IN OCTOBER 2002, four former students of JG Bennett established this fund to ensure that the wisdom and experience that Mr. Bennett was able to convey in his writings would not be lost to time. The fund will be used exclusively to keep the many books and tapes authored by Mr. Bennett available to those who wish to study this material. Donations to the fund can be sent to the address below or made online at the Bennett Books storefront. Currently we are simply a group of like-minded individuals with a keen desire to support a common aim. If sufficient need arises and the funds are available, we will consider forming a non-profit organization to further the aims of the fund.

Fundraising Letter

January 13 2007

Dear Friends of the JG Bennett Literary Legacy,

John Bennett left a legacy of selfless giving and unrelenting inquiry into the mystery and meaning of life. He was a seeker, a risk-taker, and an opener-of-the-way for others. His works and life reveal nothing less than one who gave all to discover what is.

We have a concern for the future of JG Bennett’s literary legacy and are working to keep it available; and with this letter we are asking for contributions to a permanent self-renewing fund dedicated to this end.

Fund Description
A separate deposit account tracks all contributions and withdrawals. The fund is used exclusively for production and printing costs for new and out-of-print JG Bennett titles. (See below.) When a book is sold, an amount equal to the unit cost for that book is returned to the fund. In this way, your donation is continuously replenishing the JG Bennett Publishing Fund.

Titles reprinted/published with Fund
--in 2004
The First Liberation—Sherborne House Theme Talks 1-5
--in 2005
Transformation
--in 2006 Sunday Talks at Coombe Springs; The Way to be Free
--in 2007
Sex and Spiritual Development; Talks on Beelzebub's Tales; Enneagram Studies; Witness-The Story of a Search

Summary of the fund’s activity since October 2002

Contributors to the fund: 65 donations received since October 2002: $21,955.81
Expenditures for reprinting out-of-print and/or publishing new books: ($21,264.54)
2005-2007 Reinvestment to fund from sales of books published from fund: $5,592.15
Fund Balance as of January 13, 2008: $6,283.42

The fund’s goal is to receive $65,000 in contributions, which, when reached, will guarantee that all JG Bennett titles, both those in print and proposed, will remain in print and be continuously re-printed.

How to Contribute
Please make your check payable to: “JG Bennett Publishing Fund.” Contributions by credit card (MC or VISA) can also be made through our secure storefront online. Your contribution will be acknowledged by letter.
