Ep 25 I Fundraising, Faith, and Pistachios: Coaching Ministries ft. Evan Cox & Jon DeLange
Description
What do landscaping, grant writing for dummies, and pistachios have to do with faith-based fundraising?
More than you'd think.
In this episode, Raimy and Bini are joined by Evan Cox and Jon DeLange, the dynamic duo behind strategicfundraisingplan.com, who’ve helped hundreds of Christian ministries raise more money with less stress.
You’ll hear how Evan went from mowing lawns to mentoring ministries, why Jon thinks "our" is the most dangerous word in fundraising, and how the best donor strategy might start with a bag of chips and a personal text.
