5 nonprofits we recommend this Giving Tuesday

It’s Giving Tuesday! Each year, we’re deeply moved by the generosity that flows on this day—and by how many of you join us in sharing the love of Christ to those in need of opportunities, community, and hope. In that same spirit, we’ve once again curated a list of organizations whose Kingdom-minded work is transforming lives and communities around the world. 

This year, we want to shine the spotlight on several Kingdom-minded organizations. Though their methods differ—from equipping churches to empowering women and supporting families—their missions beat with the same motivation: to see people restored, communities strengthened, and the love of Christ made known. 

We’re honored to highlight their work and invite you to learn more about their incredible impact this Giving Tuesday.

At HOPE International, we’re always eager to share how God is at work across the HOPE network—but we’re also committed to championing our nonprofit peers. It’s our joy this Giving Tuesday to once again recommend a short list of other nonprofits doing incredible work.

As HOPE has served in contexts of conflict, war, and civil unrest in Ukraine, Haiti, and elsewhere, we have seen firsthand that those who minister in hard places aren’t exempt from the pain of the brokenness around them. This year, we want to recognize five nonprofits supporting the mental and spiritual health of those responding on the frontlines of global conflicts. These organizations’ crisis support and counseling services are essential in helping staff care for themselves and others.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re glad to recommend five nonprofits providing care and crisis support to global workers.

5 innovative nonprofits we recommend

In their book Rooting for Rivals, HOPE’s president and CEO, Peter Greer, and chief advancement officer, Chris Horst, write:

We’ve been given a mission and mandate that requires nothing less than the best of our efforts working together in unity for the sake of the Kingdom … It’s time that we focus on the Church’s unified mission above our organizational agendas.

At HOPE International, we’re committed to fighting poverty, empowered by the Good News of Christ—and we rejoice that we aren’t alone in this.

This Giving Tuesday, we want to recommend five Christ-centered nonprofits impacting children, global healthcare, the Church, and the Earth. Together, we’re pursuing a greater Kingdom mission, so that more and more people experience the flourishing God intended for His creation.
