The arrival of spring is a symbolic time for most. One filled with opportunities for giving the rooms in our homes that much needed refresh or perhaps giving you the boost you need to finally clean out the garage. Like the spaces around us, spring also presents the opportunity for us to refocus our minds and our hearts. Directing your energy toward improving your mind, body, and spirit can help make you more mindful of how you allocate your time and resources, as well as help to establish boundaries so you are not feeling burnt out.
One way to work towards this is by slowing down and thinking about what makes you feel fulfilled and happy. Are you able to take time for yourself to do things you enjoy? Are you spending quality time with the people you care about? Do you feel like you are making forward progress in specific areas of your life? Do you feel like you are making a positive difference in your community?
Studies show that charitable giving can actually boost your physical and mental health.* How wonderful it is to know that you can experience greater happiness and satisfaction, lower stress levels, and increased self-esteem from an act of kindness like giving to a charity in need. The unique mission of Building for God Community Foundation (BFGCF) enables you to make a charitable gift and feel a heightened sense of fulfillment knowing that your donation helps to support the great works of countless nonprofits in your community, whom we recognize as our Champions in Life (CILs).
Your recurring donation, no matter the size and frequency, makes a direct impact on the mission of our CILs. Your kindness and generosity enable us to fulfill our mission of sheltering the homeless, feeding and caring for families, fostering the educational needs of our youth, and supporting those who protect our community.
The Perseverando Society recognizes the generosity of our greatest supporters. Its members are not defined by how much they give, but by their dedication. This special group is comprised of individuals and families who have elected to recognize Building for God Community Foundation (BFGCF) in their legacy giving and/or have chosen to donate to our mission on any recurring basis, including recurring employee giving program gifts.
In this new year, help us persevere in our efforts to support those in need by becoming a part of something special. Learn more or enroll in The Perseverando Society.
