Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Hurricane Helene has devastated communities from Florida to Tennessee, and many want to know how they can help. One of the benefits of NCF having local teams around the country is that we have people in all the areas where the storm hit. They’ve helped us collect information about which charities are on the ground and learn how they’re responding.
We hope this week’s top story will help you give with confidence to what is breaking your heart. Please also join us in praying for the victims of Hurricane Helene who have lost so much.
Today is World Teachers’ Day. You can inspire a wave of kindness that transforms the hallways of schools and creates a ripple effect across the globe. Do you know a teacher or school in your community that would benefit from a culture of generosity? Watch the video to learn more.
If you’re only writing checks to charities but also have appreciated stocks or mutual funds, you likely have a significant opportunity to reduce your tax burden, give more, and simplify your giving. Give stocks now, and you’ll have more for granting to the charities you love through the rest of the year.
There’s one word in the Bible, an almost untranslatable word, that is used more times to describe the attributes of God than any other. Read The 1st principle of biblical generosity, or get this book to find out what the word is. (Audible.com is now offering this book for free!)
Saturday 7 is brought to you by our team at the National Christian Foundation (NCF). We would love to help you create your Giving Strategy™, so you can experience more joy and adventure as you pursue a life of generosity. Find an NCF location near you at ncfgiving.com/locations.
