We at GemNjoy believe wholeheartedly in education and life long learning. It is our desire to support our staff who have pursued higher education at great cost. Once lifted from these financial weights, they will have the freedom and time to pursue creative activities which give them and those they touch much joy.

Joy is contagious and can be spread through acts of compassion, kindness, and generosity of spirit.

The Student Loan Reduction Program at GemNjoy has been established to help our staff reduce their government and private student loan burden. All funds gifted will be immediately applied to the balance of official student loans held by US Banks. The current loan balance to date is approximately $250,000.00. This amount fluctuates due to monthly payments currently being processed, gifts received, and interest that has compounded for those loans that are not in repayment status at this time. Loan totals will be updated periodically and announcements of gifts (anonymous or otherwise) will be listed on our site.

Gifts can be given through our site from within our "Store" page listed on the navigator bar to the left. Gift levels that can be given through Paypal are currently set at $10, $20, and $333. You may adjust the amount of your gift by choosing several units of a particular gift level. For instance if you would like to gift $50 you may select 5 units at the $10 level. If there is an amount that you would like to gift over $2000.00 or if you are interested in gifting the entire amount of $250,000.00 please contact our administrator directly at 760.536.8376. Once our gifting goal of $250,000.00 is achieved, we will use any additional gifts to set up a scholarship fund for our staff and families.

If you prefer not to gift through our online credit/debit services you may send your gift to the administrator of this program:

Mary Kennedy, Administrator
GemNJoy Student Loan Reduction Program
2658 Del Mar Heights Road #460
Del Mar, CA 92014

Proof of student loan payment will gladly be provided upon your request. This program is not run by a non-profit organization at this time; you will need to determine any tax benefit through your personal tax professional.

Any gifting over a level of $20 will receive a complimentary copy of our e-dissertation document "Cocreating a Participatory Vision of Joy: An Arts-Based, Autoethnographic Inquiry." Please be sure to include an accurate e-mail address or phone number when you provide your gift so that we may contact you directly regarding our gift to you.


Blessings,
