One of the most powerful things about Give a Child a Christmas (G.A.C.A.C.) is the way it scales. A single individual giving builds the pool. A congregation organizing a special Sunday offering builds it faster. A local company running an office drive can completely transform what we are able to do for children across Montgomery.
If you are part of a church, a business, or a community organization, here is exactly how to bring G.A.C.A.C. to your circle this fall.
Congregations are among the most natural partners for G.A.C.A.C.—the mission aligns directly with the calling to care for and uplift children and families in need within our local area. Here is how a faith community can take part:
-
Pooled Worship Collections: Organize a dedicated offering during one or more Sunday services and submit it as a single pooled contribution.
-
Ministry & Small Group Drives: Coordinate giving across Sunday school classes, youth groups, or women’s and men’s ministries.
-
Presentations & Informational Flyers: We are happy to provide materials or a brief campaign overview for your service or bulletin.
All donations are 100% tax-deductible and flow directly into the G.A.C.A.C. gift fund. Contact [email protected] to coordinate logistics.
Businesses can rally their teams behind local children through several straightforward channels:
-
Office Giving Drives: Organize an internal department challenge or friendly holiday competition.
-
Matching Gifts: Encourage employees to give by offering a corporate match to double their impact.
-
Direct Corporate Contributions: Make a tax-deductible contribution from your company’s community outreach or corporate social responsibility (CSR) budget.
If your company requires documentation, proof of 501(c)(3) status, or customized donation tracking, BFCF can provide everything your HR or finance department needs.
Fraternities, sororities, neighborhood associations, and local civic organizations are built on community action. Adopting G.A.C.A.C. as a fall service project allows your group to pool contributions together to sponsor multiple children in one collective effort.
What Your Group Gift Does
Every group contribution enters the exact same pooled fund as every individual donation. It serves every single enrolled child equally. There is no minimum requirement, no child left behind, and no tiering where one child receives more than another based on individual sponsorship. The pool serves them all.
The campaign closes November 15 so our team has the time needed to purchase, organize, and deliver gifts before Christmas morning.
If your group or business wants to make a real difference together this holiday season, the best time to start is today. Reach out to us at [email protected] or visit boswellfamilycharity.org/give-a-child-a-christmas to get started.
