Donors

The work of AMOS Resources is supported by donors. They include many retired and active clergy and lay leaders who, like the Board of AMOS Resources, have witnessed, supported, or are leaders in the successful work of faith-based organizing that has already taken place in Connecticut. They want to see that work replicated throughout the state and beyond.
