Spotlight on Giving
The Gift of Gratitude
Gratitude has a way of changing how we see the world. It centers us, even in the chaos of the season, and reminds us to pause and appreciate what matters most—family, purpose, and the chance to make the world a better place. At this time of year, we’re especially grateful for people like you, whose generosity strengthens our mission and changes lives in inspiring ways.
Your generosity makes everything we do possible. Every gift, every kind word, every act of support strengthens our mission and extends our reach. When you give, you do more than provide resources—you help move our mission forward in ways that touch countless lives. The impact is felt not only by those we serve, but by all of us who witness your generosity in action.
We’re also inspired by the stories you share. They remind us that gratitude is best shown, not said—embodied in every thoughtful act and generous gift. Your giving creates new reasons for gratitude every day, and your story may inspire others to give as well.
(Studies even show that expressing gratitude can boost mood and help reduce anxiety—something we could all use as the holidays approach!)
There are also smart ways to make your generosity go further. Donors who make gifts before the end of this year can take advantage of current charitable deduction rules without being impacted by the new limits on deductions that will take effect next year. Some donors are even choosing to “bunch” two or more years of giving into this tax year to maximize their deduction and the difference they can make right now.
Beyond the numbers, what matters most is the difference your generosity makes and the gratitude we feel for you. Thank you for standing with us, believing in our work, and helping us carry it forward. Your support is a reminder that generosity is alive and well and that, together, we can accomplish more than any of us could alone.
