Celebration Offering
One of Our Most Significant Annual Investments in the Lives of the Materially PoorAn Offering that Transforms Lives.
God uses PEER Servants’ annual Celebration Offering to positively impact the lives of the materially poor in very significant ways. In 2021, this is especially true as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary and plan for a future with even greater kingdom impact. Our 2021 Celebration Offering goal is $250,000, and you have already given $255,914 (102%)! Thank you for being part of a community that is so generous in your response!
We have now completed our Celebration Offering and thank God and you for the following very generous results…
- Where Most Needed: These funds will be used to meet the greatest needs in the overall work of PEER Servants and our Global Partners. Amount Received: $90,865.
- Special Project Grants: Each year the PEER Board identifies strategic projects submitted by our Global Partners that we’d like to fund over and above what we provide through our Country Fund Base Grants. There are seven Special Project Grants this year – scroll down to review them and note that all have been fully-funded. Thank you! Amount Received: $102,713.
- Country Funds: Each year PEER Servants desires to send a minimum of $20,000 to each Global Partner as part of our Base Grant. These funds can be used for the Partners’ microfinance, education, youth empowerment, healthcare, or food security programs. Amount Received: $62,336.
While the Celebration Offering has closed, you can still donate directly to your favorite Country Fund in PEER Servants. Just click on “Donate” in the upper right corner of your screen and choose your cause in the drop-down menu. If you prefer to give by check, please make it out to “PEER Servants”, send it to PEER Servants, PO Box 258, Woburn, MA 01801, and include a note stating the cause you would like to support. PEER Servants will direct 100% of your gift to the option you choose.
Thank you for your generosity.
