Gift Acknowledgment
A gift is not the end of an interaction. It is another opportunity to notice the person, respond with care, and deepen the relationship.
Starting Donor
We welcome people into relationship, help that relationship grow toward sustained partnership, and let recurring commitment change how we care for the person—not send them into another communication journey.
Sustained Donor
Sustained giving deepens the relationship. We respond by personalizing the same donor journey around impact, connection, progress, and appreciation—not by starting another sequence.
Storytelling
Stories help people see Proxima more clearly, understand what matters to us, and respond when something connects.
Pray for Proxima
Prayer Update is not simply how Proxima tells people what to pray about. It is how we invite people into prayer, listen when they respond, and faithfully respond to what they entrust to us.
Newsletter
The Quarterly Newsletter is not simply something Proxima sends. It is a regular way to stay present, share what matters, notice what people care about, and respond faithfully when they choose to engage.
Events
Choosing to participate matters. We help people participate well, carry forward what was useful, and respond faithfully without assuming more than they expressed.
