“Inspiring Generosity”
“Inspiring Generosity”
There have been miracles of service in the midst of the 2020 COVID pandemic. When we awarded grants to 11 charities in February, no one knew how dramatically we would be impacted. I am awed at what God has done, and humbled to profoundly thank Donors who made the resources available and these Grantees for their creative response to the adversity of COVID in their plans and work. Many of these stories brought me to tears- of Joy!
It was just February 6, 2020 that we gathered to Celebrate with Grant Recipients, Donors and Friends. With the generosity of each Donor who contributed to the “Soaring Together as One” Grants Fund, we were blessed to distribute $60,000 to 11 Charities and Churches. As promised, we are sharing the reports each Grantee prepared of funds spent and outcomes. Please take a few minutes to read their stories-and know that thousands are being impacted!

The Purpose Of These Grant Awards
The purpose of these Grant Awards is to support activities that inspire generosity for Christian Impact through effective reproduction and sustaining best practices in church and ministry settings. We consider grants fulfilling this purpose in the following three areas:
-
-
Church planting, church start-ups and expansion of the church
-
Ministering to homeless, poor, and disadvantaged
-
Ministry movements such as discipleship or stewardship
-
The 2020 Grant Program has concluded
with a fabulous Banquet.
Congratulations to all the Grant Recipients!
