One Great Hour of Sharing

One Great Hour of Sharing
One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) is the NACCC’s crisis relief fund, created to help those impacted by poverty, hunger, sickness, conflict, emergencies, and natural disasters worldwide. Money donated to the NACCC’s One Great Hour of Sharing fund is used in the spirit of Christ to provide dollar-for-dollar financial relief for immediate and long-term needs.
OGHS History
Though it shares a name with the Episcopalian Church’s historical One Great Hour of Sharing initiative, One Great Hour of Sharing through the NACCC is not an independent organization, nor is it denomination-specific. Our One Great Hour of Sharing fund was developed in response to rising global need and in service of our mission to support ministries of the local church in its community and to the world in the name of Christ.


Get Involved with OGHS
You may contribute to the One Great Hour of Sharing general fund year-round to ensure reserve funds are available when needed. Additionally, the NACCC will occasionally appeal for relief funds for a dedicated emergency or disaster, in which case you can choose to contribute directly toward that cause.
OGHS donors can rest assured that 100% of their donation is contributed directly to their chosen fund or cause. The NACCC does not deduct any portion of donations made directly to OGHS for operational expenses. Operational expenses are paid for through the NACCC’s “Fair Share” giving.
Distribution of Funds
In distributing One Great Hour of Sharing funds, the NACCC always works through thoroughly vetted relief organizations proven to be credible, effective, and transparent in their use of funds. When possible, we also make every effort to partner with member churches and mission partners closest to those in need.
