At Mission Increase, we're convinced that ministries need a champion development strategy that encourages COMPREHENSIVE growth in the cause.  The strategy we offer is called P-E-O where P is participation,  E is engagement and O is ownership. This micro-course will walk you through the creation of a P-E-O chart–a planning document outlining the set of comprehensives steps you offer your champions.  We start by listing all of the steps and then categorize different types of activities (giving, serving, sharing, praying, learning).

Welcome to the Area Director Onboarding eWorkbook! This course outlines every aspect of the AD role and is used to onboard new ADs and serve as reference material as needed.

Why should someone give to your nonprofit organization? How does your work help others impact the cause? A Case for Support is a brief statement that clarifies the reason your organization exists and why others should support it.

Organizations lose around half their donor base each year. For your nonprofit to survive, you must be regularly inviting new people the cause. Hosting an inspiring large-scale event can help your organization reach a wider audience where you can cultivate engagement with new people.

Over the past two decades, Mission Increase’s model for large-scale events has helped thousands of leaders to invite new people, in addition to raise more money, grow existing champions, and build community through inspiring fundraising dinners.

This workshop will focus on the important planning principles for large-scale events. When you gather together with peers in ministry to practice:​

• Brainstorming your guest list
• Designing a great program
• Construct a follow-up plan

This updated workshop will surely benefit your entire team. Be sure to invite key volunteers, development staff and board members to participate.

Great boards can be a gift to an organization when members understand their role and create environments dedicated to serving the kingdom.

How do you foster the change needed to help your organization’s board grow into the strategic leaders and protectors of the mission required to achieve your God-given vision? Participate to:

• Learn the key roles and responsibilities related to serving on a faith-based nonprofit board
• Learn ways board members can create pathways for congregations and nonprofits to work together
