Facilitated by The National Christian Foundation – www.NationalChristian.com – a Generosity Council is a group of people in a community who are passionate about generosity and want to encourage each other, get equipped to share with their peers, and be more intentional about seeking God’s will about why they have been blessed with much. This group will meet together (typically four times a year) to share ideas, encourage, and inspire each other and to discuss how to expand generosity in others.
Are you are a person of influence and affluence who has a passion for generosity but haven’t found a safe environment where you can be encouraged and equipped to leverage your influence by sharing this passion with others?
You’re busy. You don’t want another mundane commitment that may or may not bear fruit, but you do want to maximize your time and the gifts God has given you. The Generosity Council is a gathering of like-minded people who want to impact their community and the world through giving.
Benefits and goals for Generosity Councils, the community, and The National Christian Foundation:

What is the potential impact?
Cities that have started Generosity Councils have shown extremely positive results. People are enjoying the time together and are inviting their friends. We are seeing new givers join the movement, leading to increases in both cash- and asset-based giving. Most importantly, we are seeing a renewed spirit of people turning to God in this area of money and generosity that has totally impacted the way they live their life for Christ. These are exciting goals!
