Fundraising Banquets

* Important note: This workshop includes two distinct parts. You are welcome to register and then choose to attend one or both parts based on your ministry’s needs. When you register for the event your local GTO will provide more details about the workshop itinerary.

Choosing a fundraising event can be a difficult undertaking.  With hundreds of different fundraisers out there these days, it can be really hard to know which ideas work best and will help you meet both financial and Kingdom goals. Conventional wisdom suggests fundraising events should be ‘original, easy, and entertaining’. Think burrito bingo, chili cook-offs, raffles, cookie sales, and dog washes.   

Mission Increase Foundation holds up a different yet profitable fundraising dinner model. Used successfully over two decades by countless ministries, the model works well for ministries just like yours – without a huge staff or event budget. Let Mission Increase Foundation teach you its high impact fundraising event model that can help your ministry raise thousands of dollars and acquire hundreds of new donors. And the best part of this model is that you will be partnering with your current champions in a way that elevates their involvement in your cause.
