Today we’re going to dive into two historical accounts of land or real estate gifts. These two accounts from the early church start out the same but definitely don’t end the same. We believe there is both a dose of encouragement—as well as caution—found here for us today. Pull up a chair and join us in the Giving Room as we unpack the role our heart and our motivation play in determining whether we’re truly generous.

We're pulling back the curtain on a philosophy that donors and nonprofits alike have held—the charity with the lowest overhead wins, or, from the donor's perspective, "I don't want my gift to pay for overhead." We'll push back on the statement that "100% of your gift goes to our mission" and encourage you to think strategically. Pull up a chair and join us in the Giving Room as we attempt to bust the overhead myth.
