How We Work

At Harder Consulting we focus on your success by tailoring strategies that fit your resources to execute.

Inside this community, you can learn how to build a successful stewardship program with the hands-on support you need from an industry expert.

Michelle Harder understands the unique challenges Christian leaders face every day in funding your ministry.

Founded by Faith-based fundraising expert, Ben Harder in 1986, Harder & Associates, now Harder Consulting, has helped over 250 churches raise millions of dollars so they can make a lasting and meaningful impact with their ministry.

We are your partners in giving and stewardship.

Our Approach

We know the challenges you face – budgets, attendance and the fear of talking about money in faith-based organizations – but we also know that you can get past the challenges when you offer donors an inspiring and rewarding experience of giving in faith.

Your constituency can be filled with people who truly understand the joy of giving in faith and engage with you in a meaningful way. People who not only grow with you in your ministry, but come alongside you and give year after year. A caring and committed group of followers who connect with you on a deeper level and help you impact the community through the word of God.

You want to make a difference in your ministry, but it can be challenging doing it without the right strategies and tools. Whether you want to inspire first-time givers, re-engage existing members, or develop integrated solutions for your annual fundraising and stewardship programs, we’re the solution you’ve been looking for.

Why we do it? We do it because we believe every church and faith-based ministry can change the world through their mission when they find the right person to come along side them and give them the skills and confidence to feel comfortable talking about money.

Our Philosophy

We believe that if people are given the right tools and skills success is always attainable. Good stewardship is a learned skill and we can help you realize financial success.

Our Focus

Our solutions are actionable, creative and tailored to you. We work alongside you to build capacity in your people and design strategies to maximize your impact and your results.
