Give with Brighter Days

Brighter Days Giving donations

Ways to Give

To become a member of Brighter Days Giving Circle, we suggest a donation of $1,000 or more. The amount is our suggestion, which for some may be too much, and for others, too little. We invite you to pray about it and give the amount that the Lord puts on your heart. Just remember that it’s good for us to stretch a bit, even sacrifice, when being generous towards meeting the physical and spiritual needs of those around us. He promises to multiply our gifts 100-fold and to give back to us more than what we sacrifice. We cannot out give Him (Luke 6:38; Malachi 3:10).

If you have any questions about how to donate, please email info@brighterdaysgiving.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Instruct them to put “Brighter Days Giving Fund #4428937” in the memo.  Be sure to also have them include your Full name, mailing address and email address in the memo section so that we can match the donation to you.  The Tax ID/EIN for National Christian Foundation is 58-1493949, and the mailing address for the grant check is:

Stock or Mutual Fund Donation
