Overview

Mission

Our mission is to share the hope of Jesus through generosity by harnessing the power of crowdfunding and online giving to provide timely financial support to individuals, organizations, and communities in need. Through transparent and compassionate giving, we aim to make a meaningful impact and serve others in charitable and transformative ways.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Giver Army is designed to encourage numerous donors to contribute regularly to one of twelve charitable causes. These donations are then aggregated and distributed as grants to crowdfunded campaigns associated with the respective cause. Members of the Giver Army consider themselves the 'Crowd for the Crowdless,' choosing to combine their small donations with others to support individuals facing significant needs without a supportive community. Our causes include: Pro-Life: Assistance in adoption, foster care, pregnancy care, or family development. Animal Rescue and Care. Arts and Education. Essentials for Life: Providing food security and other daily essentials. Crisis Response: Provisions for volunteer groups during a crisis. Rescue and Rehabilitation: Providing funds for people seeking forms of rehabilitation, including drug and alcohol abuse and human trafficking. These funds also support other nonprofit organizations with a similar focus. Justice for All: Providing funds for people seeking legal aid. Medical Relief. Earth Care. Barnabas Fund: Providing funds for semi-completed charitable projects. We have provided 42 grants ranging from $500 to $5000. Grant amounts are determined based on the expressed needs and available funds. Campaigns selected to receive a grant must meet specific criteria. They must comply with all laws governing charitable giving, such as not providing grants to family members and ensuring the campaign is set up for a charitable cause related to humanitarian aid, faith, education, etc. The campaign owner must be actively attempting to raise funds outside of receiving a grant, indicating that the campaign is deemed worthy of crowdfunding. Additionally, the campaign must fulfill all verification steps provided by the platform on which they start their campaign.
