It's the year-end countdown to our annual goal of $1.5 million.
It's not too late to be part of the 100 + 1% Challenge

Last Chance to help FaithWorks
reach its goal of $1.5 million for 2021
to meet the needs of our Ministry Partners
and the people they serve.
 
There are less than 72 hours left in 2021.
 
Can we use these last hours of the year
to express our gratitude for the good things of the past year
and give a little something more to help those upon whom
the weight of the pandemic has fallen more heavily;
those who are less able to protect
and take care of themselves?
Let me remind you that it’s your last chance to review your charitable pledges and intentions. Time is running out if you wish to deduct your charitable donations on your 2021 income tax return.

The FaithWorks 2021 campaign is approaching it’s annual goal of $1.5 million.  We hope to reach that goal to be able to offer the same funding as last year to our ministry partners. They work above and beyond the call of duty on the front line of the struggle with poverty, abuse, neglect, sickness, and human degradation in so many forms. As we can only imagine, it is a struggle that only became much more difficult with the pandemic and lockdowns.

We would like to exceed that goal to offer more assistance to our existing ministry partners and help the new applicants seeking our support for the first time.

How wonderful it would be if we met Bishop Andrew’s 100+1% Challenge and saw something extraordinary happen in this 25th anniversary year!

Let’s all review our charitable intentions and pledges and help make something wonderful happen in 2021!

It's not too late to be part of
the 100 + 1 % Challenge

100% participation +
1% increase in donations

This "extraordinary" challenge has been given to us by Bishop Andrew to celebrate the 25th anniversary of FaithWorks. We are challenged to achieve 100% participation by Anglican parishes and individuals and a 1% increase in donations in this year's fundraising campaign.
This would produce an extraordinary result that would allow FaithWorks to offer extraordinary assistance to the most vulnerable among us during these extraordinarily difficult times.
That would be something to celebrate!
Join us and rise to the Challenge.
