In a world filled with relief and development organizations, some Covenanters may wonder, \u201cWhy should we give to Covenant World Relief?\u201d Here are six significant reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Relief and Development Ministry of the ECC<\/strong>
    \nCWR is the ECC at work in the world, participating in God\u2019s transforming mission among the most vulnerable.<\/li>\n
  2. Trusted Partnerships<\/strong>
    \nCWR chooses to work through time-tested, trusted, effective partnerships. These partnerships leverage resources, empower local ministries, increase local involvement, reduce overhead, and facilitate immediate response to disaster and human suffering.<\/li>\n
  3. Experienced<\/strong>
    \nCWR has been working with the poor, the powerless, and the marginalized for more than 60 years.<\/li>\n
  4. More than Relief<\/strong>
    \nThe majority of CWR human and financial resources are utilized in transformational community development programs. Disaster response is vital to save lives and facilitate recovery. However, it is through long-term engagement with the most vulnerable that individuals, families, and communities are truly changed.<\/li>\n
  5. Low Overhead<\/strong>
    \nCWR is committed to maximizing the percentage of funds used in direct ministry. This means that at least 90% of every dollar donated goes to programs serving the most vulnerable.<\/li>\n
  6. Multiple Giving Options<\/strong>
    \nIf you are not already one of our faithful partners, please consider one or more of these giving options:
    \nCheck, online<\/a>, and automatic bank transfer.
    \nUndesignated, issue specific designations (e.g., water, hunger, disaster relief, etc.), project specific designations\u2014more than 30 around the world.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
