Stewarding God's Provision
Your Champion-Centered Fundraising Plan.
This page supports the Annual Fundraising Plan workshop. It is not a course. It is where the tool and templates from the workshop live, so you can turn what you learned into a working plan your board and team can actually use.
Your Primary Tool
Open the Annual Fundraising Plan Tool
This is the tool that turns your workshop notes into a real plan.
Annual Fundraising Plan Tool
Seven steps from vision and mission through systems assessment,
strategic goals, financial targets, and a review rhythm. The final step
compiles your printable plan.
Good to know before you start: everything happens right in your browser. There is no login, and nothing saves automatically. Use the Save (CSV/Excel) button as you go, and Print/Save PDF once your plan is ready to share.
