Considering how essential fundraising is to ministry, many church leaders remain terrified of asking for or talking about money. Fearless Church Fundraising removes the terror from stewardship, urging leaders to focus on deep spiritual conversion and a clear, compelling mission before they design the pledge cards. In this rich resource part handbook, part workbook, part spiritual guidebook former monk and popular consultant Charles LaFond combines road-tested strategies and sample campaign documents with a spiritual director s sensitivity. The result is an irresistible, user-friendly text that promises to transform your ministry s fundraising and its spiritual life."
Charles LaFond has been raising major gifts in churches for 25 years in every possible ecclesial and non-profit context—as a corporate vice president of the YMCA, a diocesan teacher, a missionary, monk, curate, Bishop's canon, consultant, Cathedral Canon, and associate rector. He has led more than twenty five trainings in this work, interviewed forty philanthropists, and raised more than $25 million in his non-profit ministry and $50 million in his ecclesial ministry and has just launched a new $50 million major gifts program in his current position at The Cathedral of Saint John in the Wilderness. His vision for this book, as with his previous book with Church Publishing Inc., is to demystify the idea that different churches do this differently and that it is in any way difficult. Major gifts work is basic ministry and is the same in a parish of twelve families as one of 1,200. He blogs daily on spiritual life, food, hospitality and generosity atThe Daily Sip and has considerable resources for parish financial development including videos and manuals at www.fearlesschurchfundraising.com
