Giving in Every Season of Life
In 2018, a sculpture caught the eye of a Texas woman perusing the aisles of her local Goodwill store and she bought it for $34.99. She was curious about the piece and started to do some research.
Several years later, a fine arts consultant identified it as an ancient Roman bust that once belonged to a king of Bavaria and had long been missing from a German museum. The thought was an American soldier brought it home after WWII and it eventually made its way to someone’s donation pile. This priceless find is now back in Germany.* Talk about a unique thrift store donation!
You may not have a 2,000-year-old Roman bust lying around your house, but there are other creative ways you can give to support the work of nonprofits you love—like Global Disciples—no matter the season of life or the size of your budget. Start with these ideas:
- Time. Time is a resource available to us all—and it can have immeasurable impact. Share about your favorite nonprofits with people you know. Send notes of encouragement to staff members. Look into opportunities to volunteer. Your time investment pays lasting dividends in needs met and people served.
- In-Kind Gifts. You may have access to goods and resources that can bless our work, or you could have skills that will help Global Disciples further our mission. Contact us and learn more about which in-kind gifts can make the most difference.
- Other Assets. Research shows that about 90% of our wealth is held in non-cash assets like IRAs, real estate, stocks, or personal property. Creative giving can also mean leaving a legacy and extending impact with Global Disciples through a gift in your will. You can use these tools in creative ways to change lives long after your lifetime.
“No one has ever become poor from giving,” Anne Frank wrote. There’s great wisdom in her words. Serving others and giving toward work that changes lives brings a wealth of satisfaction and joy, regardless of your age or circumstances. Your creative gifts can make a lasting difference.
