Mission:Dignity® Launches
$750,000 Matching Event
for Giving Tuesday
DALLAS — Mission:Dignity^®, a ministry of GuideStone^®, is inviting friends and supporters to make a life-changing impact this Giving Tuesday, December 2. Thanks to the generosity of committed donors, the first $750,000 in gifts will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the help provided to retired Southern Baptist ministers, workers, and their widows in need. Mission:Dignity exists to honor these faithful servants by providing financial assistance to cover basic needs such as food, utilities, and medical care. For many recipients, these monthly grants are the difference between choosing groceries or prescriptions. Supporters can make a tax-deductible gift at MissionDignity.org/GivingTuesday. All donations received on Giving Tuesday will directly benefit retired ministers and their widows who often live at or below the poverty line. Mission:Dignity currently assists almost 2,800 retired Southern Baptist ministers, workers, and in most cases their widows nationwide, providing dignity and financial support in their later years. With the matching challenge, donors can help ensure these faithful servants never have to worry about basic necessities.
