What can a family do with $2550?

As most people do at the end of the year, A Giving Spirit Foundation took stock of what we accomplished in 2011 and decided we had a very good year.   Many deserving families in the greater Charlotte, NC area received grants that, in their words, changed their lives.   Thanks to  the unending support of many loyal donors, A Giving Spirit gave out $22,938 in grants and $1500 to research organizations searching for a cure for ALS.  The average grant awarded was almost $2550.00.

A Giving Spirit Foundation needs to thank our loyal supporters without whom we'd be nowhere.  Even though we did not have our annual event in 2011 - this event raises the majority of our funds for the year - we were still able to make a difference in many women's lives.  They appreciate you and we appreciate you.

We have big plans for 2012 and we're working hard to find new ways to fundraise so we can increase the number of families we can support.    If you'd like to support us financially, please donate by credit card through our secure website (PayPal) or mail a check to us at the address to the right.  

Or, if you'd like to make sure someone is working hard to earn your money, head over to our CrowdRise page and see what some of our supporters are doing to raise money on our behalf.  You can donate through CrowdRise safely and securely too (http://www.crowdrise.com/agivingspirit).  And if you'd like to raise money on our behalf, please try out CrowdRise - it's easy, safe, and pretty cool.
