For the first time at an LWML convention, attendees will be able to "Text to Give" as they offer their gifts to the Lord for each of the four convention offerings. There will be traditional ways of giving — offering baskets at the convention hall entrance for your checks and cash offerings, as well as online donations. This offers all individuals and groups who are unable to attend the opportunity to contribute to the offerings. Find information about electronic giving here.
The offering recipients were chosen by the LWML Presidents Assembly in January 2023. The first offering always goes to the 2023–2025 LWML Mission Goal in support of newly selected mission grants. The remaining three convention offering recipients are:
