Since September, 2007, the Eidolon Foundation has been actively engaged in a successful prison ministry Outreach program. At least once a month, members of the Foundation, along with other volunteers, have been heading out the Southern Correctional Institute in Troy, NC, to work with inmates (both men and women) who have an interest in alternative religions and earth-based spirituality. The response, both from the inmates and the prison chaplin, has been overwhelmingly positive.

Good news, everyone. Our 501(c)(3) status is now official. The IRS has established that the Eidolon Foundation qualifies as a charitable non-profit organization, and as such, is tax-exempt, and all donations to the Eidolon Foundation are tax-deductible.
This means that any donation to the Eidolon Foundation, whether monetary, or in the form of books, or supplies, and so forth, can be deducted from your taxes. It also means the Eidolon Foundation can finally start pursuing funding from outside sources, such as grants and philanthropic organizations. We will hopefully begin this process shortly.
Having said this, we were honestly not expecting to obtain our 501(c)(3) status so quickly. We are, to say the least, pleasantly surprised. This is a remarkable achievement and we are very grateful to everyone who has helped us and supported us this past year as we worked through the challenges of this process.

2006 Yule Ball a Success! |
|
Sunday, 17 December 2006 |
Thanks everyone who attended the Eidolon Foundation's first major event -- the 2006 Yule Ball in celebration of this truly global and timeless holiday. We look forward to having many more events in the near future, and will soon begin our various initiatives to help support the diverse community of alternative religions in the Charlotte area. Stay tuned to our website to learn about our upcoming activities, events, classes, or workshops.
Your generous support and contributions that have helped make the Eidolon Foundation possible. The majority of funds raised in this event will be put toward the fee required for filing our tax-exempt status with the IRS. Once that task is complete, we will be well on our way to seeking funding for our many projects and initiatives, such as the creation of a community center and the establishment of the private or charter school for children of alternative religions and lifestyles.
We took a lot of photos too. Look below (or click "Read More") to see some of the best pictures from the day. |

We had a great time at PPD. Not only did we hand out countless brochures and fliers, but we We met a lot of people and received an amazingly large number of book donation! All told, we had around fifty books donated to our new Community Library. The library now has a complete of all books donated to the Eidolon Foundation, and we'll be adding more books as time goes on. This is a fantastic start to this new endeavor. You may browse the library listing on this website and can even request a book lone, but you will need to created a user profile and login in order to see the library catalog (if you have any trouble, just contact us).
We'll also be posting some pictures from PPD soon, so check back often. Thanks everyone!
