Fundraising

Christian faith‐based nonprofits should see fundraising not as a necessary evil, but as a positive extension of ministry anchored by giving. Jesus’ example and his sacrifice should prompt Christians to support faith‐based projects that serve those in need. Often, the catalyst for this kind of donor response is the fundraiser. Done properly, humanitarian fundraising is not transactional. It is relational, and the depth of the relationship determines the on‐going quality of the ministry. Just as project participants in the developing world need predictable sustainability, donors also need to see predictable sustainability and follow‐up. Relationships demand the same level of organizational commitment as does tracking funds
