Transformational Giving

Transformational gifts may be categorized as “big” or “major” gifts, but what distinguishes them is their unique capacity to alter the programs, perception, and future of an organization. 

More than gifts, they are true investments in the future of an organization and community. This phenomenon – the product of a heightened understanding from donors on the importance of philanthropy for building communities and institutions – is one of the most important milestones in the entire history of philanthropic growth in this country.

One aspect of Transformational Giving at the Gospel Center Rescue Mission (GCRM) is “Naming & Recognition Opportunities” of structures, and rooms within structures, as well as programs.
