Become a Cardinal Council Support Member
At Red Bird Ministries, our mission to accompany grieving families can only thrive when the foundation of our ministry is strong. While many donors and grants focus on programs, few support the vital operational needs that allow our mission to flourish.
That’s why we are forming the Cardinal Council—a community of individuals, families, and foundations committed to sustaining the heart of Red Bird Ministries. By pledging annual support for our core operations, Cardinal Council members ensure stability and give our team the freedom to focus fully on serving grieving families.
Your commitment strengthens the mission itself—helping Red Bird Ministries grow, endure, and continue bringing Christ’s comfort to those who suffer profound loss.
Become a Cardinal Council Member, schedule a call with Kelly Breaux.
