About Mission Increase

Mission Increase exists to help Gospel-centered, nonprofit organizations build capacity for ministry by providing biblically-based training, coaching, and consulting in fundraising. Mission Increase (MI) provides a unique combination of training, coaching, consulting, and strategic matching grants to local Christian nonprofits, enabling them to meet the pressing needs of those they serve so that ultimately more people in need are brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Since 1999, Mission Increase (MI) has trained — at no charge — thousands of Christian leaders, awarded grants worth more than $26 million, and leveraged more than $120 million in matching funds to support the vital work of these nonprofits.

About Our Training

At each of its communities across the United States, Mission Increase offers a training curriculum on fundraising topics essential to nearly every Christian nonprofit. Whether in workshops, one-to-one coaching or consulting with nonprofits, or through a matching grant, MI helps nonprofits understand that Biblical fundraising is a ministry opportunity, which provides a powerful tool that transforms their givers’ hearts.

Workshops – Our workshop curriculum offers a practical approach by applying solid, Biblical principles to such important topics as acquiring new givers, improving development practices, creating and implementing fundraising event and major gift programs, and many more. We offer workshops, as well as personal consultations, to train nonprofit leaders in a wide range of fundraising issues.

Coaching and Consulting – While the training covers a broad spectrum of fundraising and organizational issues facing Christian nonprofits, it cannot cover every contingency. For this reason, MI staff coach and consult one-to-one with nonprofit leaders, addressing particular organizational needs or concerns.

Matching Grants – MI will also invite nonprofits to continue building their fundraising capacity by giving them a matching grant based on the skills they have learned through consulting. If awarded a grant, the nonprofit is required to raise matching funds in an amount at least equal to the grant, creating greater leverage and multiplying the impact well beyond the initial grant. Most succeed. In fact, the average amount of matching funds is more than twice the amount of the foundation grant. Often, it’s four or five times as much.
