Episode Details

Businesses can give bigger donations, so it’s tempting to look for the company with the deepest pockets and think, If we could just get them on board, we’d finally hit our fundraising goal.

But chasing the biggest check can waste a huge amount of time—and sometimes bring the wrong partner into your ministry.

In this episode, we’re talking about how fundraising with business sponsors is different from talking with individual donors and how to communicate with businesses more effectively. You’ll learn why identifying your ideal business donor matters, how to stay true to your ministry when pursuing funding, and why alignment can matter far more than the size of the potential donation.
