Through the Chimp Fund matching gift campaign you raised over $37,600 for 59 of your favorite charities working to end homelessness. Your generosity inspires us!
We are deeply grateful also to Benefic Group for matching your contributions as a way to champion homelessness as a cause worthy of mass support. Many thanks are due as well to Chimp and its founder John Bromley for suggesting the campaign and helping it happen.
The campaign was a a tangible way of meeting the challenge set out in our Beyond Homelessness Forum to forge partnerships for building more physical and social spaces of belonging for those in need. Your enthusiastic response means that the Forum generated considerably more donations to the cause than we spent on preparing the event itself.
The Forum’s keynote and workshop sessions urged holistic “home-making” approaches that cut across socio-economic divides and connect the public,private,and charitable sectors. So we are particularly encouraged that you gave strongest support to organizations modeling that holistic care and partnering attitude as they assist youth at risk (Youth Unlimited and Inner Hope Youth Ministries) and refugees and immigrants (New Hope Community Services Society).
Blessings!
The City Gate Leadership Forum team
