Comments from Givers
“Not that we ever donated exclusively for tax purposes before this, but our giving since the Generous Giving Conference hasn’t made ANY tax sense at all! Now we both look for ever-increasingly creative ways to advance God’s kingdom by sharing with others what God has graciously entrusted to us.” — K.M., Pennsylvania
