What's in a Specialty

A specialty is the complete progression for one area of fundraising or ministry leadership. You see what's possible, draft, refine, and finalize a real working document for your ministry.
Four progressive courses
Each specialty has Introductory, Foundational, Intermediate, and Advanced courses. Take them in order. Each tier deepens the work.
One real working document
You leave with a complete, leadership-ready working document specific to your ministry. Not a template. Your actual plan.
Mi Advisor coaching
An AI coach grounded in Mi's methodology walks beside you as you draft, refine, and finalize your working document, 24/7 inside every course.
Specialty forum access
Join the specialty's discussion forum. Share drafts, ask questions, and learn alongside other ministry leaders working on the same document.

Common Questions
What to know before you buy.
What's included with one specialty purchase?
All four courses in the specialty (Introductory, Foundational, Intermediate, Advanced), Mi Advisor AI coaching for the working document, and access to the specialty's discussion forum. You leave with a complete working document for your ministry.
How long do I have access?
Once purchased, you'll have access to the specialty for one year. You can return to courses, your working document, and Mi Advisor during that time.
Can I upgrade to Plus or Premium later?
Yes. Upgrade any time. Your progress and working document carry over. If you bought one specialty and later subscribe to Plus or Premium, you'll have access to all eight specialties from that point forward.
Which specialty should I start with?
Start with the one that addresses your biggest current pain point. If your messaging is unclear, start with Communications and build a Case for Support. If your board needs work, start with Leadership. If you're new to fundraising as ministry, start with Transformational Giving. The Introductory courses for each specialty are free in Mi Academy Basic, so you can preview before you buy.
Can I buy multiple specialties?
Yes, but if you're buying two or more, Plus is almost always the better value. The full Plus subscription unlocks all eight specialties for $49 per month, with three user seats. You can cancel any time. See the Plus comparison above.
