SUMMARY:Isn't 'No Strings Attached' Charity the Most Loving? Answering the Hardest Objections to Effective Charity
DESCRIPTION:Effective charity raises important—and sometimes difficult—questions. \n“How is it loving to attach requirements to charity? That sounds like punishing and shaming people who are genuinely struggling.” \n“What about people who genuinely cannot work or overcome poverty due to disability\, illness\, age\, or other significant limitations?” \n“Aren’t food\, housing\, and other basic necessities human rights? If a program helps people survive\, why does it matter whether it creates dependency?” \nMaybe you’ve been asked questions like these. Maybe you’ve wondered them yourself. Whether you’re already convinced of effective charity principles and want help responding to common pushback\, or you’re still wrestling with these ideas and have honest questions\, this webinar is for you. Nathan Mayo\, True Charity’s VP of Operations & Programs\, will address 11 of the most common objections to effective charity\, including the questions above and other questions relating to requirements\, dependency\, human rights\, government programs\, compassion\, dignity\, and more. We’ll also leave time for open Q&A\, giving you the opportunity to bring your toughest questions and hear them answered live. \nRegister for the Webinar

SUMMARY:Member Exclusive: Virtual Policy Forum: Bringing Frontline Experience to Policymakers
DESCRIPTION:If you work directly with people experiencing poverty\, your voice matters. \nEvery day\, you see firsthand how policies affect individuals\, families\, and communities. You understand the realities behind homelessness\, addiction\, food insecurity\, workforce challenges\, and other complex issues in a way that few others do. You’re more than an advocate—you’re a practitioner with valuable expertise. \nYet too often\, the insights of frontline ministry and nonprofit leaders are absent from policy conversations. \nThat’s why True Charity hosts an annual virtual Policy Forum. This year\, we’re bringing together legislators and poverty alleviation practitioners for meaningful dialogue. This is a unique opportunity to share your perspective\, hear directly from policymakers\, and contribute to conversations that can shape the future of poverty policy. \nThis 90-minute forum will include a brief update on the current policy landscape followed by a facilitated discussion between legislators and practitioners. Because meaningful interaction is the goal\, participants should plan to join with cameras on and be prepared to actively engage in the conversation. \nIf you care about seeing policies informed by real-world experience\, we invite you to be part of the discussion. \n\n  \n    Register Now
