What is Mi Academy?
Training built for ministry and nonprofit leaders
Mi Academy is Mission Increase's self-paced training platform, built around 8 specialties like Transformational Giving, Champion Development, and Board Leadership. Every course blends biblical grounding, proven principles, and field-tested practice, and every leader works toward real, usable deliverables for their own ministry: things like a Case for Support, a Fundraising Plan, or a Board Development Plan.

Why Stoller invested in this
An investment in you, not just your organization
Stoller Foundation partners with ministries who are anchored in the Great Commission, and believes strong fundraising leadership is part of strong ministry. Mi Academy was chosen as part of the Elevate! program because it treats fundraising as ministry, not a necessary evil, forming leaders who invite people into real partnership rather than simply asking for gifts.
Your Next Step
Find Your Local Learning Community
Your courses give you the tools. Mi Core gives you people. A full-time Area Director in your region leads quarterly workshops and one-to-one coaching on building champion relationships, stewarding resources, and aligning your work with your Kingdom mission. Donors cover the cost, so there is no cost to you.
To connect: search your city on the Mi locations page, click "More Details" to meet your Area Director, then reach out and mention you are a Stoller Elevate grantee. No local community yet? Mi Core also meets remotely, so you can join from anywhere.
Mi Academy is provided by Mission Increase in partnership with Stoller Foundation's Elevate! program.
