This kind of sustained, long-term commitment requires a steady, reliable stream of funding that allows us to plan and follow through on our promise. This brings us to the efficiency of monthly giving.

Why Your Monthly Gift Matters So Much

From a best-practice standpoint—and we are committed to being good stewards of every dollar—monthly giving is the most efficient way to fuel our mission. It’s the smart way to give, and here’s why:

• • Greater Impact Over Time: These consistent gifts allow your support to go much further. Recurring donors stay engaged longer and contribute significantly more over their lifetime than one-time givers. This means your ongoing commitment has a massive return.
  • Increased Efficiency: It’s simply more cost-effective to retain a monthly donor than to constantly use resources acquiring a brand-new one-time giver. When we don’t have to chase new donors every month, we can focus on the work in Haiti and Abaco.
  • Weathering the Storms: Monthly gifts smooth out funding gaps, giving us the financial stability we need to continue our programs, even during economic uncertainty or when unexpected needs arise.

In short, your consistent contribution is not only predictable, but it also keeps overhead low, making returns on investment high, allowing us to help more people in need.

Here’s what it can look like:

• • $10/mo buys a chicken every month, adding a regular source of protein to our feeding programs
  • $25/mo constructs a raised garden, allowing easier access for those with physical disabilities
  • $50/mo supplies a new student each month with everything they need to enroll in our School of Light
  • $100/mo covers the essential antibiotics, fever reducers, and other needed medication for 50 children

We also recognize these very practical reasons why monthly giving makes a lot of sense.

• • Convenience: “Set it and forget it” automation removes the need to remember each month.
  • Peace of Mind: You have the assurance that your resources are consistently doing good for people in Haiti and Abaco.
  • Sustained Impact: You see your ongoing contributions create tangible, sustained change over time.

When you become a monthly supporter, you’re making a commitment to walk alongside our brothers and sisters in the communities we serve—people like Elirose in Haiti and Zhivargo in Abaco. Your consistent gift is their long-term stability.
