What Happens When You Pray... AND Ask?!

“We just need to pray — God will provide.”
“If we ask for money, won’t people think we’re greedy?”
“Let’s show our impact, and the gifts will come.”
“Asking for money feels ... yucky.”

If you’ve ever heard or said these words while fundraising for a faith-based mission, this session is for you.

In today’s philanthropic landscape, effective fundraising requires more than prayer — it calls for bold, values-aligned asking. This session invites you to reframe your approach to major and midlevel giving by blending faith, intentionality, and relationship-driven strategy. You’ll explore the biblical foundation for generosity, the current trends in faith-based fundraising, and hear real-world examples of how ministries broke through limiting mindsets to unlock transformative gifts.

Through this conversation, you’ll learn how to align your ask with donor motivations, steward supporters meaningfully, and advance upper and legacy donor engagement, all without compromising your mission or your message.
