Florida Faith-based organizations and churches attended Cape Coral Community Foundation's Faith & Generosity Conference
![]() More than 70 leaders from Florida's faith-based organizations and churches filled the conference room at Cape Christian Fellowship for the 2017 Faith & Generosity Conference, which focused on cultivating a culture of generosity within organizations. A myriad of issues face faith-based organizations and churches these days – loss of financial support due to lack of annual givers; seasonal residents and snowbirds with more affinity to their hometowns in other states and countries; and infrastructure issues like not having the proper stewardship programs to support giving and growth. But plenty of reasons for hope exist as well. |
