Can I give more than once a year?

When will the organization receive their support?John Ward2022-04-12T16:20:59-05:00

When will the organization receive their support?

Resurrection works closely with the Finance Committee to ensure that all donations are made in a timely and relevant manner.

Why only once a year?John Ward2022-04-12T16:21:59-05:00

Why only once a year?

It’s simpler to hold one fundraising event per year rather than overwhelm people with a multitude of fundraisers happening at various times throughout the year. It doesn’t limit contributing to Missions; that can be done at any time.

DONATE TO MISSIONS

Will this mean less money goes toward Missions?John Ward2022-04-12T16:21:50-05:00

Will this mean less money goes toward Missions?

No, giving towards Missions can be done at any time. Be The Hope just simplifies how Resurrection funds its Missions commitments into a focused, one-time event on Easter.

DONATE TO MISSIONS

What if my mission isn’t listed?John Ward2022-04-12T16:22:12-05:00

What if my mission isn’t listed?

Resurrection endeavors to support work that’s relationship-based, i.e. hands-on, versus simply giving money or items toward another organization’s cause. Please donate directly to any organization/cause not on our list that you feel led to support–it’s a much more efficient use of everyone’s resources.

Why not have fundraisers throughout the year?John Ward2022-03-06T08:41:27-06:00

Why not have fundraisers throughout the year?

Research shows having a single event like BE the HOPE yields the same, if not more, financial support with less demands of staff, resources and your time.

What if there isn’t enough funds to support the mission?John Ward2022-04-12T10:40:12-05:00

What if there isn’t enough funds to support the mission?

While there may be fundraising goals, Resurrection avoids potential conflict by not commiting specific amounts to organizations. Also, we will not financially burden anyone to give beyond their means or budget (good financial stewardship is healthier for everyone).
