What does a Rekindle Chapter cost?

For a limited time, Rekindle is totally free to use in your local community. As we grow and scale into a national network of Rekindle Chapters that support each other, we are not charging any interested community for our materials, curriculum, guidance, and support. We do, however, charge Fellows a fully-refundable $150 deposit to secure their seat once accepted into the Fellowship. That ensures they are fully committed to the Fellowship experience, and they can easily request it back once the Fellowship is complete.

How does Rekindle support new Chapters?

We’ve worked hard to make Rekindle as “turn-key” as possible for interested communities. You just need to follow our step-by-step playbook to go from nothing to a robust dialogue and vibrant Rekindle Chapter. We have marketing materials, the curriculum, the handouts, fundraising templates, and so much more to offer. We can’t help with the recruitment or logistics, but we’re there to help with everything else!

So, how do I get started?

Rekindle’s national headquarters in Cleveland is currently supporting over 20 Chapters, and we’d love to support yours. To do that, we have a process that includes an intake form, watching an “Introduction to Rekindle” video, and filling out a basic Memorandum of Understanding with your group or organization.
