The women of this Chattanooga-based Giving Circle are spurred on as they hear stories from women who are living in that bigger story. In early June, the women of Stepping into Generosity gathered at a hilltop home in North Chattanooga to hear the story of a young woman whose heart for generosity is propelled by the awareness of God’s hand on her life.

The Generosity Trust exists because a woman planned ahead. Dora Maclellan Brown made arrangements for a trust to be established and continue in perpetuity to facilitate Christian generosity in Chattanooga and beyond. Now, several generations later, The Generosity Trust continues to grow and serve donors and future ministry leaders. It’s all thanks to Aunt Dora’s well-designed estate plan.
