Building a Fund to Seed the Future
Dear Friends of Invested Faith,
2021 has been an amazing year at Invested Faith; it’s been the year that we’ve actually seen the tangible connection between the dream of Invested Faith and the Fellows who are living faith in inspiring and hope-filled ways. We’ve funded 5 inaugural Fellows and will soon announce our second round for 2021; I can’t wait for you to meet them!
Now that we know this idea works, it’s time to get serious about building a fund that can have a significant impact in the community of faith-rooted entrepreneurs.
As we kick off our first ever Invested Faith End of Year Giving Campaign, I need your help.
Would you give a significant gift to support the work of Invested Faith?
Would you share on social media and with your circles about why giving to Invested Faith is important?
Would you connect us with people who might be interested in knowing more about what we’re doing at Invested Faith?
You can give here, and remember that all gifts to the work of Invested Faith are tax-deductible.
The world changes when people believe that something different can take root and they take a chance to make that so. You have been the driving force behind the significant progress and impact Invested Faith has made this year. Thank you for believing a new way is possible.
