5 Tips to Boost Your Fundraising Methods

Happy February! I’m excited to share with you about a new study’s findings and how it relates to the 5 tips we have for you to boost your fundraising methods. But first, I’m reminded of a profound Truth I learned a few Valentine’s Days ago.

In the midst of stores filled with heart-shaped merchandise and love-themed movies played, God revealed something beautiful to me – the deepest love story is the one we have with Him.One Valentine’s evening, I sat before a cozy fire and wrote my first Love Letter to Jesus. This simple act shifted my entire perspective from earthly desires to eternal purpose. As we serve our ministries and donors, may we remember that all our efforts flow from this first love – our relationship with Christ.

“Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.” –Psalm 63:3-4

This powerful meeting reminded us that every client has an entire team of dedicated professionals working together to advance their mission. We shared stories, dreams, and visions for the future of Blessings Brokers. Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more about our plans in the months to come! 

Our team at Blessings Brokers believes in the power of prayer. We pray daily for our clients and the missions they are accomplishing. Below is a sample prayer for your team.

Are you looking for tips to boost your fundraising? Recent research from NYU brings scientific backing to what we at Blessings Brokers practice – authentic, mission-focused messaging resonates most deeply with donors. Their study found that organizations focusing on philanthropic messaging raised significantly more than those using other approaches. This fits perfectly with our Christ-centered approach to donor development. When we share the genuine impact of our ministries and focus on the eternal significance of giving, we connect with donors’ hearts, not just their wallets.

Here are 5 tips to boost your fundraising methods:

Lead with Purpose: Share your ministry’s God-given vision and how it transforms lives

Build Authentic Relationships: Focus on genuine connections rather than transactions

Share Stories of Impact: Communicate how God is working through your ministry

Stay Connected: Regular, meaningful communication keeps donors engaged in your mission

Express Gratitude: Acknowledge both the gift and the giver’s partnership in ministryRead the full NYU article: Nonprofits raise more money online with philanthropy-related content, study finds – Washington Square News

With Hearts Full of Gratitude,
