65 SEPTEMBER 2025 www.goodnewsfl.org Good News • South Florida Edition COMMUNITY NEWS Strikeforce Giving, a women-led Christian giving circle based in South Florida, is officially going national with the launch of two new local chapters in Palm Beach, FL and Richmond, VA. These new giving circles represent the growing movement of women uniting their resources, faith, and leadership to fund life-changing ministries in their communities. Founded in 2012, Strikeforce Giving has quickly become a force for good — mobilizing women to pool their donations, prayerfully select ministry partners, and experience the joy of giving in community. With nearly $1.8 million dollars granted to local Christian nonprofits, the organization is expanding its reach with a bold vision: to empower women across the country to start giving circles that ignite generosity and transform cities for the Kingdom. "This is a milestone moment for us," said Christine Auker, president of Strikeforce Giving. "God has grown what started as a spark in South Florida into a movement. With the launch of Palm Beach and Richmond, we’re seeing the model of biblical generosity multiply — and it's just the beginning." Both new chapters are launching with enthusiastic founding members, a shared brand identity, and the full support of the Strikeforce national team through its newly released Strikeforce in a Box toolkit, an all-in-one resource package designed to help women start and lead giving circles in their own cities. Strikeforce Giving is rooted in the belief that every woman has influence and collective generosity has power. Each chapter operates under a common set of values, emphasizing local impact, shared decision-making, and Christ-centered fellowship. "We’re not just giving money — we’re building relationships, encouraging ministries, and advancing God’s work in tangible ways," adds Auker. “It’s giving with purpose, joy, and community.” As the movement expands, Strikeforce invites women across the U.S. to pray about starting a circle in their city.
