What You Will Find Inside
Fundraising isn’t really about money. It’s actually more about preparing people to be responsive to an ask.
It’s about passion and in the church, it’s about gratitude and faith.
This book is a practical guide with actionable strategies that will increase revenue in your church and create a culture of giving.
Strategies that identify the challenges faced by today’s churches and offers real solutions.
Getting Started
If you want to increase the revenue in your church or organization and you are not sure where to start, this book is a good resource to give you the tools you need to get started.
The Book
The Basics
The first few sections address the basic principles and strategies in fundraising that most churches and faith-based organizations should have in place.
Additional Strategies
The next couple of sections deal with a few strategies that some churches may not be as familiar with; grants, major gift and legacy giving, for example.
Gratitude
The final few sections address how gratitude can make all the difference in your stewardship program, for donors and volunteers.
I offer Michelle my congratulations on this excellent book. It represents a significant contribution to the Canadian fundraising body of knowledge. Buy a copy for your priest, imam, reverend or rabi.

What People Are Saying About The Book
Is the Harders’ book “just” about churches and keeping them solvent? Well, it starts there and shares concrete advice. The “Seven Myths of Church Fundraising” is a major wake-up call. The book has plans, social media strategies, and how to land large gifts effectively.
But the sky’s the limit. The book is about faith-based missions of all sizes and kinds. This new book is a faith fundraising bible (small B).
