How can Our Church Get Involved?
For years, as the Church, we’ve felt a growing desire to become meaningfully engaged in the brokenness we see around us. Each day, images of suffering, injustice, and unmet need reach us from every corner of the world. Our hearts are stirred, yet the question remains: Where do we begin?
Are the ministries we support addressing root causes?
Are there more faithful ways to steward what God has entrusted to us?
Along the way, a simple but profound conviction has taken root: God owns it all.
What has emerged is a growing community of stewards: entrepreneurs, givers, and investors… men and women no longer defined by success alone, yet often sensing they are standing at the edge of something more. Not because something is broken, but because God may be inviting them into deeper purpose, shared mission, and lives fully sent.
3 Reasons to Participate in SWGP Giving Funds
SWGP Giving Funds exist to meet that moment, providing the professionalism, diligence, and discernment needed to ensure generosity is stewarded well and directed toward solving real problems. They invite you to move beyond isolated giving and into collaborative action—joining like-minded believers to pursue meaningful, lasting impact together.
01.
Trusted Pathway to Mobilize Generosity Beyond the Church Walls
Churches want to help people respond to global brokenness—but often lack the capacity to vet, monitor, and steward complex initiatives on their own. SWGP Giving Funds provide professional diligence, accountability, and focus, allowing churches to confidently point their people toward opportunities that are addressing root problems with excellence and integrity.
02.
Discipleship, Not Just Funding
SWGP Giving Funds don’t just move money—they help form stewards. Entrepreneurs, givers, and investors are invited into shared mission, learning to align faith, work, and generosity together. This reinforces discipleship beyond Sunday and gives language to a life of calling. Giving becomes spiritually formative, not transactional.
03.
Collaboration That Multiplies Impact
No single church can solve the world’s greatest problems alone. SWGP Giving Funds allow churches to join forces with others moving from isolated efforts to coordinated action. Together, the Church bears a more compelling witness—locally and globally.

3 Ways Your Church Can Get Involved
01.
Give Together
Invite your congregation’s business leaders and givers to participate together. Set up recurring monthly giving or connect through donor-advised funds. We’ll equip your church with:
- Clear language and visuals
- Branded resources
- Simple ways to rally people around shared mission
02.
Co-Found a Fund
If your church—or a group of aligned businesses or leaders within it—wants to anchor a fund and go deeper, we’d love to explore that path together. This is ideal for churches seeking:
- Long-term engagement, not one-off giving
- Deeper ownership from key leaders
- Collaborative problem-solving at scale
If you are interested in becoming a Co-Founder of this or another SWGP Fund please contact us at team@solving.org.

Foundations Group
Not sure where to start? Start here. The Foundations Group is a five-session experience designed for:
- Families
- Church Leadership teams
- Business owners and key givers
It creates space to listen, learn, pray, and discern together— helping participants identify which problems and funds they feel called to support. Generosity becomes a shared journey, not a solo decision.
Local Giving Circles—Piloting in 2027
The local church is uniquely called to form people.
Entrepreneurs and high-capacity leaders are uniquely positioned to solve problems.
When formation and mission move together, the Church becomes a compelling witness to the world.
We are learning how to steward both platform and resources—discipling people within the life of the church while mobilizing them for impact far beyond its walls. There is deep joy in pushing back darkness together—walking in step with friends, teams, and fellow believers who are responding to God’s call.
The challenge is not desire.
The challenge is clear, accessible pathways.
Not every entrepreneur is called to serve on a board or sit on a committee. But many are longing to give with intention—to align their work, their resources, and their faith—and to do it together.
That is where partnership begins.
And where the Church steps more fully into its sending role.
Beginning in 2027, we anticipate launching pilot Local Giving Circles—bringing the framework of collaborative giving funds into local contexts so churches can address real needs in their own communities.
If this vision resonates with you and your church, we’d love to begin the conversation. Reach out to our team to express interest. In the meantime, we encourage you to actively engage in the SWGP Giving Fund that most closely aligns with your heart and calling.
