A Proven Fundraising Model for CAFO Ministries

March 16, 2026

Both Hands helps orphan care organizations raise funds for their ministry while leading a service project for a widow in their community. In 2026, participating organizations can receive a $3,000 matching grant plus a $1,000 supply grant for project and fundraising supplies if they complete a project by Aug. 1, 2026.

One ministry recently raised $27,455 through their project. Their board chairman shared:

“I love the concept of giving with Both Hands. Biblical concepts work, and we do well when we honor them. While the Family Renewal Initiative was looking for a successful fundraiser, we were also looking for a team-building exercise for our board. I can truly say that our board has a new appreciation for ministry to widows and orphans and that our team has accomplished something great for the Kingdom as we served together. It is our goal to double our outreach in 2026 and this would not be a realistic goal if not for our successful Both Hands project.”

–Terry Smathers, Family Renewal Initiative
