Choose Your Cause
What will you fundraise for?
Plant a Church
50 shares plants a church. One share is $100. Training and equipping an indigenous church planter over 3 years until the community is self-sustaining.
Feed a Child
$12 feeds a child for one month. A real meal every day and clean water, provided through the local church.
Bring Clean Water
A water well means healthier families and kids in school. Your fundraiser helps bring clean water to a community that doesn’t have it.
Empower a Woman
Literacy, job skills, and savings programs that change futures. Come alongside women who are building the tools to provide for their families.
Give Where It Matters Most
Your fundraiser supports whatever need is greatest right now — whether that’s planting a church, bringing water, feeding children, or investing in women.
Your Reason is Enough
Birthdays, memorials, personal challenges, team goals — you don’t need to match a category. Pick the cause that resonates, make it your own, and tell your story. Let your personal networks connect with your why.
