As you think about year-end giving that helps faithfully build belonging, we want you to be aware of a quiet change at the U.S. Postal Service that may affect mailed gifts this December.

Beginning December 24, 2025, most postmarks will show the date your envelope is processed at a regional postal facility, not the day you dropped it in the mailbox. For donors who still mail checks, that could mean a gift you send on December 31 is postmarked in January and counted for the next tax year.

To help your mailed gift count for 2025, you can:
• Mail your check several days before December 31.
• Ask for a hand-stamped postmark at the Post Office counter when you send it.
• Consider giving online or by electronic transfer instead of by mail. Give easily online at https://allbelong.org/yearend

However you choose to give, thank you for investing in Christ-centered communities where students with disabilities are known, needed, and experience belonging!

Merry Christmas from all of us at All Belong! Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus, who came near so that each person would know they are loved and never alone.

We are grateful for students, families, and school communities sharing Christ’s love in everyday moments of care, joy, and welcome.

May the peace of Christ be with you and those you love today.

This year's Head and Heart Conference is in the books—and one for the record books! We had our biggest group ever with over 100 educators from across the country and beyond! We are truly grateful for their desire to build schools and classrooms where every student is fully known as the child of God that they are. We can't wait to hear about the difference you will all make in the lives of your students!

Day one of our Head and Heart Conference was an incredible day of learning and collaboration. We dove into understanding the Head and Heart Framework that equips Christ-centered educators to know students excellently--and we kept it interactive, having fun while we learned!

Head and Heart Conference week is here! Before the conference starts on Thursday, some of our attendees chose to come a day early for school tours around Grand Rapids.

Educators from North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Virginia, and the Dominican Republic spent the day visiting four All Belong Member Schools, asking questions, exploring classrooms, and gathering ideas to bring back to their own communities—all with the goal of making sure every student is known, needed, and experiences belonging.

Special thanks to the Member Schools who hosted today! Their long-term commitment to inclusive education gives others a picture of what belonging can look like over time.

It's Giving Tuesday!

Today, your gift helps students like Nolan, and it will help twice as many students thanks to our $50,000 match challenge!

$20 = one student experiencing a year of belonging in their Christ-centered school. We're aiming to raise $5,000 today—that's 250 students who will know they're seen, valued, and loved.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday!

Your gift will have double the impact thanks to a $50,000 match challenge, helping twice as many students experience belonging in their Christ-centered schools.

Students like Nolan and his friends remind us why belonging matters. Though he has autism and is nonverbal, his classmates at NorthPointe Christian School know him by name, look forward to him delivering their coffee, and know that NorthPointe is better because Nolan is there.

Tomorrow, you can help open that same door for more students across the country.

It takes all of us, working together to build belonging.

Giving Tuesday is almost here—and we have BIG news!

A generous friend has offered a $50,000 match challenge for December. That means your gift will have double the impact for students like Nolan.

At NorthPointe Christian School, Nolan's classmates know him well. His friend, also named Nolan, says that in choir, "He always gets our folder for us. He is very sweet, and we would miss him if he wasn't at our school."

Nolan is accepted and valued for who God created him to be.

Together, we can help more students experience this same sense of belonging.

Give today: https://allbelong.org/givingtuesday

Nolan may be nonverbal, but at NorthPointe Christian, he is known. Friends call his name, give fist bumps, and wrap him in hugs.

Aaden, a friend from Nolan's discipleship group, shares that "Nolan is the heart of our group."

With your support, All Belong helps schools welcome every student, and know that they are needed.

From now through the end of December, your gift will have twice the impact thanks to a friend of All Belong who offered a $50,000 match challenge! Give today and help open the door to belonging! https://allbelong.org/yearend
