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 we have received $139,376 (55%) so far! Thank you for being part of a community that is so generous in your response!
There are three ways you can direct your 30th Anniversary Celebration gift…
- Where Most Needed: Not sure where best to direct your donation and prefer PEER Servants to make that decision? Just choose the first option, “Where Most Needed” in the drop-down menu. Amount Received: $75,143.
- 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 choose your favorite(s) in the drop-down menu. Amount Received: $56,098.
- 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. Select your favorite Country Fund(s) in the drop-down menu. Amount Received: $8,136.
To give, just click on “Donate Now” and then use the drop-down menu to select how you would like to direct your Celebration Offering. 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 “Celebration Offering” and the Project or Fund you would like to support. PEER Servants will direct 100% of your gift to the option you choose. If a Special Project is fully-funded, we will direct your gift to the Country Fund associated with that Special Project. Our Celebration Offering is open through November 15, 2021.
Thank you for your generosity.
