Tailored Fund Raising offers an online, on-demands course that covers the fundamentals of ministry support raising.
They use an excellent outline to help structure the course as follows:
- Mindset: Biblical foundations of support raising and attitudes
- Message: Crafting your "why" and mission and vision statements in a compelling way, and preparing for varying contexts to help you tell your story
- Map: Developing a workable plan to get from where you are to where you want to be (fully funded)
- Meeting: Preparing for meeting with potential (and existing) ministry partners one-on-one (or perhaps two-on-two)
The course costs $ 99 and combines video teaching, reading assignments, and an excellent 58 page workbook (pdf)
