2021 True Charity Summit: Reclaiming Justice Livestream
On this Labor Day, we're thankful for rest. But, we also remember that "work awakens worth." Check out the short PSA below for a brief explanation.
The Crowd Out Effect
True Charity says "no" to government funding. Why? Our founder, James Whitford, explains one reason in this video. Check it out! #transformlives #truecharity For more info visit: www.truecharity.us
Paternalism
Charity that lures the poor into dependency and you into paternalism isn't charity at all. Watered Gardens Gospel Rescue Mission and True Charity Initiative Executive Director James Whitford explains the 5 steps to paternalism here:
TCI Christmas Special!
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I would like to introduce you to Maron, a father who has found joy in one of the most difficult Christmas seasons he has ever faced. Maron was laid off of work in October. After months of looking for another job, he found one, but it didn't look like he was going to be able to provide Christmas for his family this year. That's where Watered Gardens and the generous community of Joplin, stepped in. Maron was able to shop and work for Christmas gifts for his young son and food to put on the table without sacrificing his dignity by begging or taking hand-outs. See what he has to say below!
What's Killing the American Dream?
Economic freedom creates jobs, jobs create work, work is the road out of poverty. But is our economic freedom on a crash course for disaster? Learn more by watching this video by Prager University and Join the Initiative today to promote Freedom!
War Against Work
An example of why True Charity is so important. Work restores dignity and awakens worth, when we punish work and reward idleness, we have effectively destroyed the dignity and worth of people. Let's move toward Freedom from Welfare, Join the Initiative today! #ForTrueCharity
REAL COMPASSION, REAL RESULTS
What is True Charity?
True Charity is Actualized. Goods and services are rendered to the poor & outcomes are measured. Your charity actually makes a difference!
True Charity is Accurate. The poor are empowered through Challenge Your Charity Aims to free people from dependency.
True Charity is Authentic. Compassion cannot be legislated. True Charity is privately funded. Your charity is connected to compassion.

The best part about this workshop isn't the included lunch or the free coffee (though Zera Coffee always makes a delicious brew!)
The best part is that True Charity Initiative will be sharing on fighting poverty, an incredibly relevant topic for Denton.
If you are a nonprofit leader, church member, or anyone interested in poverty alleviation- this is for you.
Tickets are $20. We don't want anyone to miss out on this opportunity. If it isn't in your budget, email [email protected] to request a scholarship.
