Interested in taking the next step in generosity but not sure where to start?
This Purposeful Giving series will explore several frequently requested topics by our GBA community on how to give effectively and joyfully.
Join both in-person events and virtual *Lunch and Learns* for education, food, and fellowship.

Our Taste of Generosity dinners will be hosted by trusted partners. With great food and the chance to explore generosity in a variety of topics, you will walk away feeling inspired and refreshed.

For Lunch and Learn webinars, we will explore generosity and financial stewardship topics in an interactive and intimate environment.

As a privately funded initiative, all expenses for these dinners are covered and we never solicit or fundraise.
