Giving With Gene: Why Giving A Recurring Gift To The Rescue Outreach Mission Makes Sense

#Giving #Our News

Recurring gifts (monthly, quarterly, or yearly) are a powerful and practical way to support the Rescue Outreach Mission’s work to shelter the homeless and help them find a pathway to permanent housing.

As a donor, small, regular gifts add up to a meaningful annual impact without requiring a large one-time donation. The cost of having a guest for one night at the Rescue Outreach Mission is $35. A monthly gift of $35 covers a night for a guest 12 nights over the course of the year. Your gift essentially keeps someone off the streets for two weeks! Automatic payments fit easily into monthly expenses and reduce the risk of missing bigger, infrequent gifts.

A consistent gift (sustainable generosity) helps you align philanthropy with your values year after year. You choose the amount, frequency, and payment method; you can change or cancel at any time.

Regular giving enables the Rescue Outreach Mission to plan and execute programs and carry out necessary repairs and maintenance. Without gifts we can count on, every dollar spent is a decision between providing a bed and a meal, or providing programs, or making a needed repair. Our guests need meals and shelter, but to move them to permanent housing often requires additional programming support. You may find a recurring gift helps you with your financial planning.  When you contribute consistently to an organization, you become invested in the mission and connected to those served through your generosity. Regular giving creates ongoing opportunities for stewardship, updates, and deeper involvement.

Choose any amount that you are comfortable with and give every month. If  $35.00 is not possible, $10 or $20 is welcome. Every dollar is appreciated.

At the Rescue Outreach Mission, there is never a cost to guests for shelter, meals or essentials. Your gifts make this possible. Recurring gifts improve cash flow, forecasting and reduce fundraising volatility.
