Product Description

Based pm a three-year, nationwide study of Christian orgaizations whose efforts are successful both in raising needed financial or material resources and in encouraging the spiritual development of their donors, this book identifies key characteristics that enable fundraising to function on both levels at once.

  • make faith-building opportunities for donors their first priority
  • act on their confidence in God's abundance
  • share their resources and wisdom with other organizations
  • draw from their theological tradition in their approach to fundraising
  • involve a vital cross-section of staff in planning
  • cultivate spiritually mature leadership
