Almost every day there are stories in the media about philanthropy, major new foundations, and celebrities supporting causes. Still, people don't feel they have any usable knowledge about their giving coming from unbiased sources. And many people don't know anyone else in their same situation…but would like to. They just don't know where to start. That's a good description of why we started The Gathering in the first place. It's not about high visibility giving. It's about your having access to information and perspective that is useful to you. It's about being part of a network of other individuals, families and foundations who are all committed to giving in the Kingdom.
What does this look like? Primarily, it looks like our annual conference called The Gathering. Here we bring committed Christian givers together in a setting that allows for learning, worship, new ideas and fellowship. Above all, it is a safe place to meet with others. From the moment you walk in you know you are in the right place for conversations that matter.
We do not solicit funds for particular ministries and we do not steer each other in any direction. We don’t pressure people to give or knowingly convict people to give more. People coming to The Gathering make their own decisions.
We’re a Community of Givers who are connected like a family taking joy in partnering with God in what he is doing in the world at this time in our lives.
