omething I wanted to do, but when I got word about your contribution, that is when I knew it was truly possible.”
Christian-based organizations that care deeply about the issues of social injustice and human need often find it necessary to diminish or hide the message of Jesus Christ for fear of being rejected outright or losing federal, state, county, corporate and private funding. Earlier this year a group of volunteers, led by Scott Haumersen of Wegner CPAs, established the Madison Christian Giving Fund to address this need. The fiscal sponsor of the local effort is the National Christian Foundation, one of the largest charitable organizations in the country.
The FUND exists to provide grants to organizations that work to both rectify social injustice and meet human needs, but also to address the heart condition that is at the root of many of these needs by presenting the message of Jesus Christ.
The fundraising goal for 2015 is $200,000 and $100,000 has been raised so far. However, as evidence of the need in Madison, the FUND received grant requests totaling $504,000 from 50 qualifying organizations!
And so, the FUND is appealing to the Christian community to help meet this need, which we believe will serve people and advance the Kingdom of God in Madison. Leveraging social media, the FUND has joined the #GivingTuesday movement. #GivingTuesday, on December 1 this year, was established in 2012 to counter the excesses of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
