Empower Others to Develop Strong, Healthy Relationships
Our vision is to lower the divorce rate in Iowa. We’re serious about the challenge and we’d love your help…
Scholarship Fund
Hundreds of couples express interest in improving their marriage but have limited funds. Donations to this fund are used to match scholarships offered by their church. 100% of your donation to this fund will be used to help couples who have financial need to attend marriage seminars.
Our annual need for this fund is $70,000 to cover the cost of scholarships and subsidies to help churches afford these retreats.
Endowment Fund
The interest drawn from our endowment is used to maintain operational expenses so we can continue to offer Marriage Love Restored intensives at rates up to 40% less than other programs. This fund is vital to the sustainability of our mission to help every couple find their journey to a healthy marriage.
Our goal is to grow this endowment by 4 million over the next four years so we can continue to offer affordable, life-changing assistance to marriages.
Project Fund
This fund helps us build our second facility five miles north of Pella, Iowa, located on a scenic river valley. The master plan includes rooms for guests, meeting space, and kitchen facilities. Donating to this project will help ensure future growth and impact of ministry through DGR.
This facility will be used for our four-day intensives plus training conferences to equip ministers to identify struggling marriages. This is a five-phase project: the first phase is paid and nearly complete. The remaining phases are estimated at 2.6 million.
