Sustainable Fundraising

There's a lot of talk today about being "sustainable."  The idea that most or all of the resources used can be replenished with minimal impact on the environment.  But what if there was a way to raise money for your ministry dream that was sustainable?  Not just because of another offering appeal, but because the funds came in naturally as a part of doing "business."

There is.  A growing number of churches and ministries are recognizing the the benefit of merging the social and business sector where a company is founded and run by business minded people but with a financial plan that directly supports a ministry.

Toms shoes is likely the most notable touting "For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need."  In a culture and generation that claims "we are what we share" we will begin seeing more of this kind of business model appear.  The question is, will one fund your dream?

Today's feature is the Eurasia Trading Company.  A small coffee shop and bed and breakfast opening on Commercial Street in a few months in N. Springfield.  Customers can purchase coffee and feel great that they are helping free victims of human trafficking and more.  Shop online today and support Assemblies of God missionaries who are reaching a desperate people.

Realize your dreams today with a variety of creative funding solutions.  To get started I recommend a talk with Mike Ennis of Impact Resource and Development.
