Have you heard of CrowdRise? It's a cool new platform that allows anyone to raise money for another organization - doing whatever it is they want to do. AGSF isn't picky - if you want to knit the longest scarf and get donations for each foot you knit, go ahead. Or maybe you want to enter yourself in a hot dog eating contest and have your friends donate $100 per hotdog. Or just put a plea out to your friends and family and challenge them to give money to a worthy cause.
Anyway, the point is, if you're doing something that you think you can turn into a fundraiser and raise $10 or $1000 or $10,000 (and anything in between) to help A Giving Spirit Foundation then consider using CrowdRise as an easy way to spread the word and take online donations.

It's easy to start and easy to receive donations. Just create a project on the AGSF Charity Profile page and start spreading the word!
If you'd like to raise money toward a specific grant request, let us know and we'll talk about some of the deserving families we've received grant requests for and how you can help fulfill the grant.

Giving Where It's Needed
This time of year it's easy to lose sight of the basics when it comes to gift giving. A Giving Spirit Foundation helps families who just need to pay the power bill, buy groceries and/or pay the rent but can't because their money is going toward surgeries or other necessities due to their health situation.
Here are just a few of the wonderful responses AGSF hears when a grant is approved:
"God will bless people like you in special ways for helping people like me"
"You are the bright light in an otherwise grim and terribly stressful time."
"You have helped make my patients feel like they are somebody worthy of attention and compassion, something that is so often so hard for them to find."
"You have definitely changed a life with this gift."
"Thank You! [She] will now be able to remain in her home!"
Let's continue to help the people who need helping this holiday season - you can do your part by making a donation to A Giving Spirit Foundation.
