Eleana Baskouta, Director of Major Gifts
Join the Sri Yantra Heritage Society
Your legacy gift is the bridge between the present and a flourishing future, empowering CIIS to pioneer transformative education for generations to come.
When Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri, visionary founder of CIIS, established the University, he was not just providing a place for the scholars and practitioners of his time to learn the benefits of the integral model. With great patience and enthusiasm, he laid the foundation for the wisdom-seekers and wisdom-sharers of generations to come to partake in the power of integral education. Thanks to his foresight and generosity, CIIS has been the leader in integral education for more than half a century, and has grown to encompass the many great thinkers, teachers, healers, and more who followed in Dr. Chaudhuri’s wake. Stewardship of what is now our shared legacy is a profound honor, and it is one we share with all those who share their knowledge, energy, time, and resources with the school.
If you share our passion for integral education and reverence for the work and wisdom of CIIS, we encourage you to consider leaving a legacy donation of your own. Your gift will be a beacon for generations to come, lighting the way for the next generations following in your footsteps. One way to provide this enduring gift of education is by making a bequest to CIIS.
