Fundraising

Hosting a fundraiser is a very joyous and creative process and we encourage you to also consult with your Assembly on meaningful ways to inspire the friends to participate in the fundraiser and contribute generously to the Fund. We wish you much success!

Most of us have come to the Bahá'í Faith from nine major religions from all parts of the world.  We bring to our Bahá'í communities an understanding of what God expected from us in the ancient ages.  But we must bring ourselves to Bahá’u’lláh's New Era of consciousness.  To do this, we must make a deliberate effort to train our hearts and minds about the nature of generosity and sacrifice.  

Bahá'u'lláh has forever changed the definition of giving in the path of God.  The religions of the past developed us to give "something."  Bahá'u'lláh is going to develop us to give "generously." We can do it, but we have to try to develop ourselves. God is aware of our new capacities in this New Era of humanity's adolescence and therefore has prescribed us to be generous and give with absolute sacrifice.
