We are building a community where people of all abilities share life, together.
Your support helps create belonging and friendship at Reality Ministries.
Become a monthly sustainer of Reality.
We’ve launched a monthly donor drive this summer. Click below for more info.
An important note: You’ll notice our donation page looks a bit different.
As of June 1st, Reality has shifted to a new donor platform, called GiveLively. GiveLively is secure and provides much more functionality for our supporters: online receipting and a portal for donors to see past donations and change, cancel, or increase recurring donations. We’re excited about the change.
We welcome questions or feedback about the shift, please email quinn: quinn@realityministries.org
