How Conway Gives was formed...
Conway Gives was established in the Fall of 2018. The Conway Ministry Center along with City of Hope Outreach (COHO), Bethlehem House, The Salvation Army, and Community Action Program of Central Arkansas (CAPCA), all of whom work together everyday to meet the needs of the community, were searching for ways to collaborate at a higher level.
Out of multiple round table discussions the idea for Conway Gives on Giving Tuesday came to fruition. This group of non-profits not only desired to raise funds without being in competition with one another, but also to give the community the option of donating to causes that are important to them without having to choose between the different agencies.

The Giving Tuesday Campaign...
On Giving Tuesday (December 3rd, 2019) the participating non-profit agencies will launch an online giving campaign (#ConwayGives) as well as a street outreach campaign. Look for them and hundreds of volunteers along the streets of downtown Conway holding #ConwayGives signs and donation buckets to raise money specifically for non-profits that provide homeless services in Faulkner County.
How it works...
Your donations will be sent to the “The Homeless Coalition of Faulkner County Charitable Fund" which is managed by Arkansas Community Foundation. The ARCF will distribute the funds evenly to all the supported non-profits. Acknowledgment of your gift for tax purposes will come from the Conway Ministry Center and be signed by all the supported non-profits.
