The Giving Currents

Spark

Generosity is awakened by possibility — a new idea, emerging need, or moment of inspiration that ignites interest.

Curious

Generosity grows through understanding — asking questions, exploring the work, and seeking clarity before moving more deeply into relationship.

Connect

Generosity flows through personal connection to the mission — values, identity, lived experience, or a sense of belonging and meaning.

Hands-On

Generosity is expressed through proximity and participation — showing up, engaging, volunteering, or being

close to the work.

In-Kind

Generosity flows through what someone can contribute beyond money — goods, skills, services, expertise, or other resources.

Seasonal

Generosity moves with seasons of life, capacity, meaning, or timing — naturally ebbing and returning as conditions change.

Steady

Generosity moves in a consistent, established rhythm — monthly, quarterly, annually, or through another pattern of sustained support.

Relational

Generosity is nourished through meaningful human connection, trust, and relationship.

Surge

Generosity rises powerfully in response to a moment — urgency, momentum, need, or something that deeply moves the donor.

Advocacy

Generosity extends through voice, influence, relationships, and the willingness to help the mission reach others.
