FaithfulGive benefits the community. In 2023, nearly 1,800 donors gave $750,000 in support of 54 Kingdom Causes. In 2024, 2,933 donors gave $1,568,149. This fall, FaithfulGive will once again offer an opportunity to join in prayer and generous giving to build momentum for local nonprofit Kingdom Causes.
Celebrating generosity strengthens the foundations of our community and bolsters the important work that faith leaders are doing every day in Lancaster. Many faith-based nonprofits have expressed a need for secure, online, community giving that was aligned with their Kingdom missions. Christian community members from diverse backgrounds opened conversations about how those needs could be met.
From those conversations, FaithfulGive was created. What we discovered is that faith-based organizations have a desire to stand in solidarity with other biblically grounded missions to advocate for one another and nurture their shared heritage.
As an organization, FaithfulGive seeks to meet the needs of Lancaster’s Kingdom causes with excellence. We believe giving is a demonstration of joyful gratitude and a conduit for sharing God’s blessings with others. We see opportunities for nonprofits to network, sharing ideas and resources through collaborative effort. And most importantly, we want to honor God by joining together in prayer, giving, and service.
I am writing to you because FaithfulGive is seeking church partners to help launch our 2025 event by covering it in prayer on a Sunday of Prayer. Each of the local faith-based nonprofits that participate as a FaithfulGive Kingdom cause will submit a list of prayer requests. Can we count on your congregation to join with these God-honoring organizations to support their missions?
FaithfulGive offers donors the opportunity to join together and securely give online in support of nonprofit organizations that are mission-aligned with our Christian values (“Kingdom Causes”). United giving builds momentum among other supporters and results in overall increased giving in our
local community.

We are looking for churches to partner with FaithfulGive by spreading the word about our three-day giving event and covering local Kingdom Causes in prayer. Your solidarity with biblically faithful non-profits will encourage them more than you know!
We have tools available for you to promote FaithfulGive to your congregation, including pre-made social media graphics, prayer guides, email content, bulletin text, posters, and bulletin inserts. You can print and distribute these on launch day: Sunday, October 20.
We also encourage you to reach out to your church’s supported organizations and recommend that they apply to be Kingdom Causes on our platform for this special day of united giving.
We encourage all believers to give year-round sacrificially to Kingdom Causes! However, FaithfulGive is offering prize incentives for giving during our event, so utilizing this platform may greatly increase your donation amount. Hebrews 10:24 challenges us, “Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.”
Although churches are 501(c)3 organizations and certainly ministries of enduring value, FaithfulGive is not designed to support churches in their on going annual giving needs. However, if a church operates a specific local ministry (such as a food bank, for example) and wishes to fundraise for
that cause via FaithfulGive, an application can be submitted for that ministry or outreach. The Board will consider each application individually.
We encourage pastors and church leaders to investigate the list of participating Kingdom Causes and learn about new potential local service opportunities for your congregation.
