Financial Partnering
Fundraising Plan
One of the significant strengths of the ministry model we are using is that several churches can share Tony’s counseling/personal ministry leadership without having to hire staff on their own. We have set up a discounted fee structure for the churches and the individuals served. At this point churches and individuals who participate in counseling and classes have been able to fund approximately $25k of the annual cost. We anticipate that number could rise to up to $30k as the work expands, leaving an additional $71k of the annual budget to be covered by fundraising.
Due to the ability to office at home and to use churches for classes and counseling meetings, the overhead for this ministry is very low. Our hope is to raise a goal of $71k for our budget through financial partnerships with churches and individuals. By God’s grace, we were able to raise our initial goal of $67k in fundraising for 2023 — thank you everyone who contributed. This allowed Tony to begin full time ministry, and it’s allowing us to consider a potential part-time hire of a women’s counselor/leader. Currently, we are working on raising the remaining 7% of our 2024 fundraising budget of $65k. Our fundraising model builds on a foundation of monthly giving in the range of $50-200 by individual partners along with a smaller number of larger monthly (or annual) gifts from churches and more resourced donors can allow us to become fully funded with a team of 35-55 supporters.
