Each quarter, Karis celebrates the gift of giving by sharing the store proceeds with local and international ministries. Organizations with a charitable or not-for-profit status that help and serve others are eligible to apply for a donation from Karis by completing and submitting an application (PDF or Word). These donations must be committed towards direct services that benefit others, not expenses like staff or operating costs.
