Overwhelmed with Gratitude

Gratitude is overflowing from ministries, churches and other charities that benefited from your generosity in 2024.

We’ve heard story after story of God’s provision and how new opportunities for ministry came as a result of your Stewards Fund giving.

Collectively, you gave more than $200 million into the Stewards Fund in 2024!

Breaking all previous years’ records for contributions, these gifts will ultimately fund the life-changing work of churches, ministries and other charities around the world.

Among those organizations, Holland Home Foundation used Stewards Fund gifts to fulfill its promise of lifelong care to each person who joins their resident family.

“Our lifecare promise is our ‘mission in action,’” says Keith Meyering, donor relations director at Holland Home. “The Steward’s Fund has been a wonderful source of generosity as many individuals faithfully support our mission through the Fund.”

Likewise, the mission of several Christian schools and universities benefited from grants made through the Stewards Fund.

“Stewards Fund gifts have helped to strengthen and expand Dordt’s leadership in innovative programs,” reports Karen Van Schouwen, director of annual giving for Dordt University. “They have increased student access through scholarships, enlarged the campus community through facility expansion, and secured Dordt’s future through endowment growth. We are overwhelmed with gratitude.”

“Calvin University deeply appreciates the generosity of our Calvin community through Barnabas Foundation’s Stewards Fund,” says Andy Schipper, director of gift planning. “These contributions are vital in fostering academic and spiritual growth for our students. Together, we are equipping graduates to be Christ’s agents of renewal in a world that needs them now more than ever.”

Mark Hamstra, superintendent for Chicago Christian Schools, says, “Gifts have been instrumental in propelling Christ-honoring excellence in our academic, athletic and co-curricular programming. They’ve also been used to fund important projects that will enhance our facilities for our next century of impact.”

On behalf of the thousands of charitable organizations who have benefited from your gifts in 2024, thank you for your extraordinary generosity! Your faithfulness will result in transformed lives and Kingdom-building ministry for many years yet to come.
