Giving Lab at Tenacre Foundation

 

Fulfillment is found in giving, a spiritually inherent quality within each of us.

Through a participatory learning space that brings together nonprofit organizations from around the world, Giving Lab actively explores the deeper dimensions of this spiritual practice of giving and caring.

At the heart of this work is the understanding that each person is inherently whole, that abundance can be discovered everywhere, and that ideas naturally unfold in a nurturing environment. We see spiritual growth as inseparable from societal transformation. Giving is not merely a charitable act; it is a spiritually grounded healing practice that uplifts individuals and transforms communities.

We invite you to join us on this journey!

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

— James 1:17, The Holy Bible
