Stove Project

{Posted on behalf of Sonya, FTGA}
Last holiday season, many forum families participated in the FTGA Stove project through Behrhorst Partners for Development. We wanted to share that we are again working to impact rural Guatemalan families who need so much year round, but our generosity in the season of giving can directly impact their lives!

For a second year, FTGA has decided to offer the Holiday Giving Back project through Behrhorst Partners for Development www.behrhorst.org. We are excited to again offer the opportunity to purchase a stove for a rural family in Guatemala. New this year, there are three other levels of giving also. We hope this offers a level of giving that all families can contribute at their comfort level. What an impact if each and every family would decide to contribute at one of the levels to this project!!

Please visit www.ftga.net and read about how to participate in the project. Last year's project raised over $16,000 for Behrhorst and we hope to top that level of giving this year!

Again this year, this giving back project can be used to make donations in honor of someone as a gift. Please note a card with a photo of a representative family will be sent to you to thank your family if this is not to be a gift. If it is a gift, a card will be sent to give to the person for whom the donation is made. This year, there will not be specific family photos given as the staff of Behrhorst's time can be better spent working on the projects instead of the many hours that went into the photos last year.

All donations for this project are made to Behrhorst Partners for Development which is a registered 501C3 non-profit organization.

Feel free to email through the website if you have any questions at all.

Kelly, how nice to see this post! I had already selected Behrhorst as my recipient of my charity dollars through the Federal Gov't worker CFC (combined federal campaign).

If there are other federal government workers reading this, you can donate through CFC to Behrhorst, their number is 9320.

I hope they raise even more money than last year!

Does anyone know if their is a deadline for this project? I don't see one listed on ftga's website. I tried emailing them but I did not get a response. I want to raise money over the holidays and donate the money in January. Thanks!
