A CITY LIFESTYLE NONPROFIT
Local Communities Giving Back
Each year, the Kingdom Building Foundation sends financial help to hundreds of families across the country who fall between the cracks of getting help. It starts with a nomination from someone who noticed.
Nominations Open: October 12 through December 3
About the Foundation
The Kingdom Building Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by City Lifestyle. Through our annual Giving Campaign, we provide financial assistance to individuals and families across the United States who are facing a real hardship but may not qualify for traditional help.
Every recipient is nominated by someone in their own community. We can only help the people we know about, and that is where you come in.
❛❛ This is about community. We believe we've been blessed, so now we get to be a blessing.❜❜
Matthew Perry, President, City Lifestyle
Faith in Action
The whole campaign is confidential. No names are ever shared or publicized.
If you know someone quietly struggling, nominate them between October 12 and December 3. Nominating someone is as simple as telling us what they are going through.
Our selection committee reads each nomination carefully and prayerfully, so every dollar goes where the need is greatest.
Those selected receive support based on their circumstances, along with a clear message: you are seen, and you are not alone.

Who We Help
We look for people facing hardships that traditional assistance often misses: single parents, seniors, and families dealing with serious illness or a loss they never saw coming. A few of the needs our community has helped meet:
For a teenager paralyzed in a gymnastics accident, so she could move freely through her own home again.
For a child who lost an eye to cancer, after insurance would not cover it.
For a man who needed his smile back to walk into a job interview with confidence.
For a family who had spent part of the winter without it.
For a family keeping up while a husband and father fought pancreatic cancer.
For a family after the unimaginable loss of a child.

None of it happens without someone noticing first and speaking up.
