Your generosity is changing the world. We are grateful for those who are going the extra mile. Here are some examples.

Please consider exploring one of these ways to multiply your investment by inviting others to join you:

Annual Donors: Join the nearly 300 donors listed above who have contributed nearly $300,000 in 2018.

Monthly Donors: Join the more than 30 people who are making a monthly gift.

Matching Gift: Special thanks to John Sobrato for his matching gift that helped us exceed our end-of-year individual donor goal of $200,000. We would welcome others who would like to support us with a large gift.

Donor Circle: The Andersons and their friends formed the Chicago Donor Circle to support the Nyange community in Rwanda. Consider joining with your family and friends to learn about international organizing and raise funds to support work in Africa, Central America and Haiti.

Event Sponsors: The Masterson, Rice, Baumann, and other families and churches hosted receptions or fundraising events. Join them by hosting a discussion at your congregation or in your community.

Institutional partners:  Santa Clara University Miller Center and Engineering School are supporting projects in Rwanda. We welcome schools and congregations that are willing to partner with our groups around the world.

Take Action: Join our email list to receive regular updates. We will let you know when you can weigh in with Congress or the White House to support policies that would benefit the communities in which we work internationally.
