#ILGive Nonprofit Testimonial | JC is the Way Ministries - Chicago, IL

Thank you so much for all of wonderful help. You all were so helpful, kind and gracious to JC is the Way as we planned and prepared for #GivingTuesday. We received great feedback on our giving page and campaign. So far we have reached 53% of our goal; there are a few more donations promised that we are waiting on. Thank you again. We are a very new nonprofit that is finishing up our first year of serving families. Last year was our first year participating in #ILGive. We did not receive any donations. We also did not implement any of the action steps you all gave us. We did not really know how. What a difference a year has made. We are still new at this, but look how much better we did by implanting many of the action steps your team made available to us! Choosing GiveGab and having your staff available to assist was a blessing and huge plus for us! It made it easy for us to implement a lot of what your team advised us to do. We look forward to next year and to implementing even more of your action steps! On behalf of the board for JC is the Way Ministries, Inc, we all say thank you all for a job well done!

-Carolyn Davis, JC is the Way Ministries
