Nonprofit Participation Application

The annual Light the World Giving Machine initiative is sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Giving Machine experience invites people everywhere to follow the example of Jesus Christ by lifting and serving others in small and simple ways.

Donors can purchase necessities—such as food, clothing, school supplies, hygiene kits, medical care, or livestock—for people in need in their local community or in another country. The Church covers all operating costs, ensuring that participating organizations receive 100% of every donation.

Since 2017, the Giving Machine initiative has raised nearly $70 million for local and global charities. Watch the videos below to learn more about the impact of Giving Machine donations.

We are grateful for your interest in applying and look forward to learning more about your organization and the people you serve.
