Why Exodus 17?
As Moses led the Israelites, they faced attack.
Moses ascended to the summit of a hill, holding the staff of God high, knowing that as long as his arms were raised, Israel would prevail. When his strength faltered, Aaron and Hur stood with him, literally holding up his arms until victory was secured.
In that same spirit, Summit Leadership calls on our partners to be like Aaron and Hur. We stand beside local nonprofit leaders who are tirelessly working—providing vital services, building capacity, and supporting startups and community programs that create lasting change. Your support helps to lift them up, ensuring their mission succeeds and our community thrives.
Why $17?
Because it’s not about the amount—
it’s about the act of holding someone up.
Your $17/month provides:
- Scholarships for nonprofit leaders to attend key training and development programs
