NCF has 30+ local teams around the country helping to foster generosity in more than 180 communities, and we\u2019re still growing. But these teams are not local representatives of a national organization; they\u2019re ministries serving in their communities. Why do we focus on this local presence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the beginning, our founders knew that lasting transformation happens in proximity and relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the primary jobs of NCF Wisconsin is to connect biblically minded givers. Biblical generosity<\/a> often comes with a desire to meet, collaborate with, and find encouragement in a community of other generous Christians. But meeting people who share your values and have the same desire to steward God\u2019s resources can be hard. NCF\u2019s local teams can help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether it\u2019s a cause you\u2019re passionate about, a family business you want to steward well, or a desire for passing biblical generosity on to future generations, our local teams know and can connect you with people who have been right where you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Relationships with God are personal. Family relationships are personal. Finances are personal. And it\u2019s not possible to deal with personal things with someone from a national call center. You need someone who understands your specific needs and respects the related sensitives and intricacies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Someone you\u2019ve built a relationship with over many years, met for coffee, maybe even invited into your home? This is someone who is better equipped to walk with you on your giving journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NCF Wisconsin spends time getting to know givers\u2019 hearts and desires for their giving. And they also share their values. They may talk with families over decades, celebrate births, marriages, and graduations alongside those families. They may notice when a giver is struggling with stewardship issues and walk with them in faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NCF Wisconsin and other local teams around the US are deeply community focused, but they don\u2019t operate in silos. Every local office is connected to every other local office and to our national office, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example when a group of givers in Arizona wanted to help those affected by the Maui fires in August of 2023, the President of NCF Southwest immediately got on the phone with the President at NCF Hawaii. Together, they created a way for one generous community in Arizona to send immediate relief 3,000 miles to those in Maui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That local-national connection doesn\u2019t just help in disasters. NCF\u2019s national team supports the back-office details and communications \u2013 from giving, processing grants, investing fund balances and reporting, to keeping givers informed about opportunities for more giving, more community, and more collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Local offices also rely on NCF\u2019s in-house team of attorneys and charitable professionals with 40 years\u2019 experience in facilitating a wide range of non-cash giving to walk with givers through the process of making complex gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NCF Wisconsin is part of a bigger organization with experienced teams that specialize in complex gifts, protecting your data, producing resources to help you make the most of your giving, researching charities, sending your grants, etc. But teams around the country are more than local NCF representatives. They\u2019re local ministries that spread generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gathering generous-minded members of the community for events like Journeys of Generosity<\/a> (JOGs) not only facilitates new and creative pathways for generosity, these events also encourage us to keep God at the center of our giving and stay focused on why we are called to give.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPersonalized, biblical generosity <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
