SUMMARY:Helping Without Hurting in Generosity: A Donor's Guide to Effective Giving
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: Thursday\, January 29\, 6 pm Central\n\nAre you a donor to a nonprofit? This special webinar is designed just for you. \nAs Christians\, we recognize that faithful stewardship of God’s resources involves more than giving generously—it also means giving wisely. God calls us not only to open our hands but to direct His resources toward ministries and causes that align with His mission and bring lasting fruit. When we give well\, we participate with the Triune God in His ongoing work of renewal in the world. \nBut how can we discern where and how to give the Lord’s money most effectively? What criteria should shape our giving decisions? And how can we evaluate whether the ministries we support are truly fulfilling their mission? These questions don’t have quick answers or simple formulas—but biblical wisdom and practical guidance are available to help us steward our resources well. \nJoin Justin Lonas\, Senior Director of Foundational Products at The Chalmers Center (Covenant College)\, for this webinar geared towards donors who wish to increase the impact of their giving. Together\, we’ll explore a biblical framework for healthy generosity—one that emphasizes sustainable\, effective ministries that help people in material poverty experience lasting transformation. \nYou’ll also be introduced to Helping Without Hurting in Generosity\, a new video-based online training featuring 21 respected theologians\, pastors\, economists\, and ministry practitioners. This tool is designed to disciple and equip individuals\, families\, and church groups to pursue generosity that truly helps rather than harms—empowering a movement of effective Christian giving.

SUMMARY:How the Church Can Lead the Way in Mercy Ministry
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: Thursday\, February 19\, 12–1 pm Central\n\nGod’s Church is uniquely equipped to address poverty. More than any government program or social service agency\, the Church is able to respond to material needs in ways that are personal\, relational\, and rooted in love. Yet too often\, the Church underestimates its own calling and capacity. Rather than stepping into a position of leadership\, many congregations assume a supporting role in the fight against poverty. But Scripture tells a different story. \nIn this webinar\, Pastor George Grant will walk us through a biblical framework for mercy ministry drawn from Romans 12. Together\, we’ll explore how this passage—alongside the broader witness of Scripture—shapes the way God’s people are called to care for one another and meet tangible needs with wisdom and faithfulness. Attendees will leave with practical insights and actionable ideas for engaging in mercy ministry that does real good\, honors human dignity\, and cooperates effectively with other members of the Body of Christ.

SUMMARY:Next Level Impact Evaluation: Collecting Better Data at Every Stage
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: Friday\, March 27\, 12–1 pm Central\n\nOrganizations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate meaningful results — but the right evaluation approach depends on your goals\, capacity\, and stage of growth. This webinar will explore a range of monitoring and evaluation options\, from practical off-the-shelf tools to customized evaluation support to rigorous impact studies such as Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs). \n\nTrue Charity will share ready-to-use measurement resources and discuss when standardized tools are an effective solution.\nRadiant Global Insights will highlight common measurement pitfalls — including unclear theories of change\, weak outcome alignment\, and threats to validity — and explain how tailored evaluation support can strengthen credibility and learning.\nThe Lab for Economic Opportunity at Notre Dame will introduce RCTs\, outline when this level of rigor is appropriate\, and describe their partnership model. Participants will leave with practical guidance to determine which evaluation approach best fits their organization.\n\nRegister today!
