Education Events

We delivered 29 Education events, with three rescheduled for 2026. These trainings, workshops, and church-based learning environments continued to serve as one of our strongest channels for both community mission impact and organizational visibility.

Of the 29 completed events, 16 resulted in a financial contribution, meaning 55% of all Education engagements generated support.

Education-related giving totaled $18,100, exceeding our annual goal of $5,000 by 362%, or $13,100 above target. The average donation per event was $1,131.

Overall, Education continues to be a high-ROI program area—advancing Charis’s mission, strengthening strategic relationships, and cultivating new donor pathways. These outcomes show a clear opportunity to continue expanding our educational footprint in 2026.
