FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q ARE ALL OF THE GROUPS FEATURED IN THE CATALOG NON-PROFITS?
A Yes. Each is an established not-for-profit organization or is affiliated with one.

Q ARE THERE OPTIONS FOR TRADITIONAL GIFTS IN THIS CATALOG?
A Yes! You will find notecards, framed art, custom-embroidered towels, hot pads, palm
crosses and Trees of Hope kits. Other donations can be showcased with an ornament,
included in a card tied with a fancy bow or paired with an inexpensive add-on that matches
the theme. Examples: Wrap a jar of local honey with your donation of bees to ELCA Good Gifts
or a small stuffed animal with your gift of a pig. Enclose a child-made drawing and a few
pencils to announce your donation in honor of a teacher. Snap a photo of your child cuddled
in a blanket to let someone know s/he gifted a blanket to keep a child warm. Did your gift
provide a birthday cake for a family at Matt Talbot? Include a birthday candle and a napkin in
a tiny package to help you tell the story.
