4. You’ll Promote Your Passion
Do you see many people struggling with homelessness in your community? Do the animals in shelters tug at your heartstrings? Do you want to improve the lives of people in developing countries? Do you want to support children and families in need? Think about what moves you and choose a nonprofit organization that advocates for that mission. You’ll promote your passion and make a difference in an area that matters to you.

8. You’ll Make the World a Better Place
When the world seems dark and dreary, brighten it with a donation to a nonprofit. When we watch the news and hear about all of the global negativity, it can make us feel defeated. But remember, your donation, no matter how small, does make a difference, and with it, you can make the world a better place.
9. Every Little Bit Counts
You don’t need to donate hundreds of dollars to make a difference. Every little bit counts when you donate to charitable organizations. Skip the Starbucks run and donate to a nonprofit instead. Small donations still play a major role in supporting their mission.
10. You’ll Improve Awareness of Global Issues
When you donate money or volunteer for charitable causes, you can improve awareness of global issues like poverty and hunger. By spreading awareness, you can also encourage others to support your cause and help those in need.
How Your Donation Helps Our Cause
Seraphim Promise has been all about assisting and supporting the most vulnerable groups within the community—those who are homeless, or in unstable housing situations, abused and neglected children in foster care and their parents, including those with physical and mental health challenges. We are invested in promoting the development of healthier and stronger family units and cultivating more positive communities.
We could not have made such a difference in the lives of so many children and families without the support of our donors and sponsors. By donating money, in-kind services, and goods, you have helped us improve the lives of children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Financial donations will go towards funding for a bigger facility for our Seraphim Boost Program which can house only a couple of people right now. With a bigger facility, we can help a lot more people. Financial donations can also purchase groceries, and school supplies for families in need, clothing for others who need anew for job interviews and job uniforms, hygiene necessities for grab bag items, outdoor living needs such as heaters, blankets, coats, boots, gloves, and tents. Donations of home goods can furnish the shelters, housing programs, and houses of people in need of furniture.
Your support of our programs is greatly appreciated. Join the fight to end homelessness and donate to Seraphim Promise.
