The True Charity Initiative exists to champion a national movement of voluntarily sourced, effective charity at the most local level. What is True Charity? It's actualized. Real charity makes a real difference. Some good or service is rendered to the poor, and outcomes are measured to ensure the efforts are actually making a difference in the community. It's accurate. If charity doesn't empower the poor, it misses the mark. Empowerment is impossible without some aspect of challenge to help a person become self-sufficient. It's authentic. True charity stems from compassion and cannot be legislated. Government is an institution and cannot be charitable in truth. True charities are privately funded.

True charity is challenge-oriented, outcome-driven, and voluntarily funded. Because of this, our organization is 100% privately funded. Our advancement team has the challenging task of making this possible. In his role as Vice President of Advancement, Travis Hurley is responsible for fundraising for True Charity. After serving in local church ministry for 17 years, he has worked in development for the past 12. He's also served full-time at Watered Gardens Ministries since January 2017. Travis shares, "I think the Bible is clear that ministering to 'the least of these' is close to the heart of God. I love my job because in doing this work among the most vulnerable among us, I never have to wonder if what I’m doing matters to Him. "It’s great to see such a growing network of passionate people who really want to serve well. The wealth of information and experience you can pull from so many people doing good work across the country is immeasurable."
"The True Charity Network reminds me that we're not alone. We're all fighting for the kingdom across the country." Jess Ahrens shares how the Network has helped improve Lincoln Village Ministry. Jess loves True Charity's resources that give her a starting place, rather than recreating the wheel in her ministry. In addition, the Network offers a community of collaboration and encouragement.
