Ministry Grant Spotlights
Leading up to GivingTuesday, we're highlighting three of our ministry grant partners whose work is making a meaningful impact.
The final spotlight is Unbound, an international organization that "supports families and communities on their self-directed paths out of poverty." Unbound is supported through Sister Linda Mershon.
"Just last year, while browsing through their website, I found a new program offered by Unbound called Agents of Change ... I was so impressed by it, that I built a relationship with the Agents of Change staff and wrote an FSPA ministry grant."
The second spotlight is Together We Achieve, based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and supported through Mary Ellen Dunford, FSPA affiliate. Mary shares the story of Together We Achieve, an organization founded in response to the devastating 2020 derecho that damaged and destroyed thousands of homes throughout Iowa.
"I advocated for this organization and sponsored an FSPA ministry grant because it assisted those facing food insecurity. It seems to me to be an injustice to have hungry people in our communities."
The first spotlight is Valley Stewardship Network, supported through Michael Krueger, FSPA affiliate and partner in mission. Michael shares about Valley Stewardship Network, one of over 100 FSPA ministry grant recipients impacted by your support.
"One of the key pieces that drew me to this organization is that since the 1970s, we've lost roughly one-third of bird species across the United States ... and this organization is working to create critical habitats, especially in the Driftless Region, for our bird populations."
