• Connect community both locally and beyond. We design our programs to understand, anticipate, and satisfy the needs and expectations of our community in a timely, cost‐effective and value‐added manner.
• Inspire leaders by leading by example. At A God Send, we look for programs that encompass entrepreneurial behavior. We understand that we cannot make a difference without prudent risk‐taking. We seek to foster an atmosphere of respect and empowerment.
• Foster communication by making AGS a collaborative effort. We share information to fulfill the vision of other organizations and in doing so, we fulfill our vision.
• We train and develop those who partner with and volunteer with us on any level and in any capacity. We provide training and educational programs to develop technical, project management, interpersonal, communication, and leadership skills.

2. Your donation helps us fulfill the vision of our programs

We have three main activities that are the foundation for what we do. Your nonprofit donation will help us empower, provide scholarship and create unity in the community.

• Scholarship ‐ We provide a scholarship awarded to an individual who has successfully graduated from a live‐in program addressing addiction, violent offending, general offending, and sex offending that also works to improve the person’s cognitive skills. Once their time is completed, we will give them the opportunity to get the practical support for their journey into a new life.
• Fiscal Sponsorship ‐ Fiscal sponsorship is often used by newly formed nonprofits that need to raise money during their beginning phase, before they are recognized as tax‐exempt under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). AGS, as their fiscal sponsor, enables them to attract funding for operations that will, through AGS, be tax‐ deductible to their donors.
• Empowerment ‐ We focus our efforts on the development and empowerment of systems that help change happen. We want to have retreats, seminars, conferences etc. that facilitate enhanced thought processes, growth, vision, self‐identification, fulfillment and most of all empowerment. We know that we cannot do it alone. We also serve as a donor to other likeminded organizations.
