LIFE’S FOUNDRYA STEADY PLACE TO STAND
Support the workBack to home ↗

Help make
room for another man.

Build a more accessible place for honest conversation, shared ground, and lasting connection.

Keep the door open

Good work needs
solid ground.

A contribution can create the room, the time, or the opportunity that helps a man take his first step.

Life’s Foundry welcomes conversations with individuals, local businesses, and community partners who want to help the work grow with care.

Ways to stand behind it

Support that fits you.

Contribute.

Talk with Rick about a contribution toward the practical costs of gatherings and making participation more accessible.

Ask about giving

Partner.

Bring your business or organization into the conversation. Explore sponsorship with a clear purpose and agreed expectations.

Explore a partnership

Make space.

A quiet room, useful supplies, or an introduction can help. Share what you have in mind and find out what’s needed.

Offer a resource

Contributions, giving arrangements, and use of funds are discussed directly with Rick. Tax-deductible status is not represented.

Trust works both ways

Support with
clear expectations.

Can a business sponsor a gathering?

Start a conversation about what support would cover, the level of involvement, and any public acknowledgment. These details should be agreed before any commitment.

Can I help without giving money?

Yes. A suitable meeting space, practical resources, and introductions to people who understand the purpose can all be worth discussing.

Will supporters receive participant information?

Support is not a reason to share a participant’s personal story or contact details. Any recognition or involvement should respect the privacy expectations of the men taking part.

Stand behind something that matters.

Start with a conversation about how you’d like to help.

LIFE’S FOUNDRY
A foundation of trust

Your story belongs to you.

Start with what you’re comfortable sharing. A first inquiry only needs a way to reach you and the kind of conversation you’re looking for.

Your first inquiry

When you choose Send inquiry, your name, email, and message are submitted through Squarespace, stored with Life’s Foundry’s form submissions, and emailed to Info@LifesFoundry.com so Rick can reply. Please include only what is needed for a first conversation. Do not include sensitive personal, medical, or financial details.

Before taking part

Gatherings are built around a shared expectation of discretion: speak from your own experience, respect each man’s choice to pass, and keep other people’s stories out of conversations elsewhere. Group discretion cannot be guaranteed.

Participation boundaries and any limits to confidentiality should be discussed directly with Rick before a session or retreat. Ordinary email is not a secure place for sensitive personal, medical, or financial details.
