As a non-profit ProgressiveChristianity.org relies heavily on the good will of our donors to help us continue to bring individuals and churches - FREE OF COST - the messages of progressive Christians, along with the many resources we provide.
For years, the majority of our fundraising came at the end of the year. Looking at various ways to create a more reasonable amount of cash flow we decided rather than having a BIG ask at the end of each year, our more frequent asks during the month give folks a chance to contribute when their funds are more flexible. We think that's a win for everyone.
We also want to highlight the opportunity to become a sustaining supporter. If you are looking for the best way to help us continue to provide progressive Christian resources, become a sustaining supporter by choosing Recurring Donation.
* Another way to support us is to leave a bequest in your Will and/or Trust designating us a beneficiary.
