Our sincere thanks go to these 1,087 fundholders, who support organizations close to their hearts and demonstrate a growing curiosity toward new opportunities. Since 2005, The Generosity Trust has served these generous fundholders as a conduit for $350 MM in grants that will undoubtedly help ignite a philanthropic spark in future generations. Great is His faithfulness!
