Episode Details

Does fundraising feel icky, awkward, or like a “necessary evil”? Many women ministry leaders feel stuck—tired of asking, unsure how to talk to supporters, and worried how their ask will come across. 

In this episode, we'll reframe fundraising through a biblical lens (2 Corinthians 8) and shows how to invite supporters into God’s work without guilt or pressure.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to find the right donors who already share your heart for the people you serve—so you’re not convincing, you’re connecting.
• Why donors aren’t outsiders and how to communicate so supporters truly feel like part of the team (with loyalty, prayer, and ownership).
• How to take yourself out of the ask and offer the gift of participation—inviting donor transformation instead of “begging for money.”
