Leaders! Are you creating a culture of generosity in your organization?

Let's lead by example and inspire others to make a positive difference!

At the the core of donor development lies the power to create genuine connections. We understand that our donors are not just contributors; they are partners in our shared mission. Beyond the financial aspect, we seek to establish authentic connections. Working in this industry for nearly three decades, I have made lasting friendships with donors. I have prayed, cried, laughed, and celebrated donors in all stages of life.

Our donor development approach transcends short-term transactions; it invests in people who care about your ministry. It is relationship building.

Transform your fundraising game...

Today's tip: Nonprofits leveraging storytelling in their campaigns witness a 30% increase in donor retention. Craft compelling narratives and watch your impact increase!

Leaning into this for 2024! May we remember why we are here on this earth and where true wealth is found. Who wants to be more generous this year?

How can you keep Christ at the center of your ministry this year?

Connect with your donors and volunteer about what is happening in their lives, spiritually. Get to know the things that are praying and believing God for and join them in prayer. Consider hosting prayer events or including supporters in your organization's prayer chain

Tip #1

Start with Prayer: Begin each day, meeting, and decision with prayer. Seek Godly counsel in all aspects of your nonprofit's operations. Encourage your team to share prayer requests, and create an uplifting and supportive work environment.

In these first months of the year, ministry and nonprofit teams should sit down and brainstorm. Ask yourself these questions.

“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
