Buckner Giving Societies, Circles, Organizations
Be recognized not for who you are, but the difference you
make to a child. |
At Buckner, we recognize donors not just for who they are, but for the life-changing difference they make in the lives of children, families and elders we serve. Each one of our societies, circles and organizations recognizes your part in providing life-changing experiences to one person – or one country. Become a part of one of our giving societies, circles and organizations and experience the joy, along with other club members, of seeing your gifts change lives.
 The Covenant Circle
Hope, unlimited.
Be a part of the promise to bring change
to children and families on a global scale. Your annual gift of $200,000 or more assures those in need that there are people who care enough to
provide life-transforming gifts. Covenant Circle donors have been
instrumental in starting and maintaining schools, bringing
Community Transformation Centers into cities, and establishing a new, much-needed Buckner presence in several countries. Begin your Covenant Circle journey today by contacting Buckner Foundation President David Slover at 214-758-8050 or at dslover@buckner.org.
 The Great Heart Society
Great hearts, great impact.
Be a Great Heart! The Great Heart Society was created to honor
individuals and families contributing at least $10,000 annually
to the ministries of Buckner. The name Great Heart comes from
a nickname given to Dr. R.C. Buckner, who demonstrated his
great heart for others not only through the love and care he
gave to the orphans and widows he served, but also through his
personal financial support. It is this spirit of generosity, personal investment and compassion that we named the Great Heart Society. To find out how you can help as a Great Heart Society member, contact Buckner Foundation Senior Director of Development Gwin Morris at 214-758-8050 or email him at gmorris@buckner.org with questions.
 The Caring Hearts Circle
Hope can be shared.
$1,000 - $9,999 annually to Buckner,
you are a part of a family who has made a commitment to
orphans, vulnerable children and families by supporting deeply
impacting services that make life better. At Buckner, we
recognize that, banded together, Caring Hearts Circle members
share hope with children every day. To learn more about
becoming a Caring Hearts Circle member, contact Jennie Kesler at 214-758-8050 or at jkesler@buckner.org.
 The Good Shepherd Society
Gifts for a lifetime…and forever.
The Good Shepherd Society recognizes
individuals and families who embrace
the mission and ministries of Buckner by naming Buckner as a beneficiary in their financial and estate plans.
Membership is extended to those who:
• Include Buckner as a beneficiary of their will or trust.
• Name Buckner as a beneficiary of a gift that produces lifetime income to the
donor, such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust.
• Name Buckner as a beneficiary of their retirement plan.
• Name Buckner as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
 Deferred gifts are used to support the ministries of Buckner, after the assets are used during the lifetime of the donor, and provide essential support to the expanding ministries of Buckner. If you have already made a provision for Buckner through you estate plan, please contact Neal Knighton at Buckner Foundation at 214-758-8050 or nknighton@buckner.org so we may recognize you and include you as a charter member of the Good Shepherd Society.
If you prefer to remain anonymous, we will not include your name among others. However, notifying Buckner Foundation will assist us as we plan for future ministries.

 Jeremiah's Hope
Churches that bring change.
Jeremiah 29:11: "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says
the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a
future with hope." These words from Jeremiah frame a great
place for congregations to begin their support of children
through Buckner International. Jeremiah's Hope seeks to show
how people are served in the name of Christ when churches
and Buckner effectively labor together as the hands and feet of Jesus to a world in need. Jeremiah's Hope recognizes churches that give $25,000 or more annually to Buckner ministries. If you would like more information about how your church can effectively change lives through Buckner, please contact Jim Huey, Director of Church Development, at 214-758-8050 or email him at jhuey@buckner.org for more information.
