See the organizations banding together for a national movement of effective charity at the most local levels.

Launched in September 2020, the True Charity Network is a nationwide affiliation of churches and nonprofits seeking to learn best practices, connect with each other, influence the public discourse—and together, to amplify their impact.

In the short period since its inception, the network has grown rapidly as charities across the country hunger to see their compassion achieve greater results. Explore the map to find current members—and keep checking back as more join the movement!

Foundational Network Principles

While Network members are at different stages of growth and implementation, all of them agree on the following principles:

All people are created equally, in the image of God, and we ought to treat them with dignity and respect. We have a moral obligation to help those in need as best we can, as per the Biblical mandate to love our neighbors as ourselves.
The causes and nature of poverty are complex, and there are no easy answers.
Relief (short-term aid in response to crisis), rehabilitation (restoration to a previous pre-crisis position), and development (advancement to new levels of flourishing) are all different needs that usually require different responses.
The best form of charity is one which is:

Voluntarily Resourced: Voluntarily resourced out of a heart of compassion.

Challenge-Oriented: Leverages relationship and accountability to challenge recipients to help themselves.

Outcome-Driven: Achieves long-term, measurable results.
Organizations should embrace opportunities to work with others to further the goal of resolving all forms of poverty. This includes both networking within their own communities and sharing encouragement and insight with organizations outside of their communities.
