Testimonials
This year, almost 40 percent of our givers at our fundraiser were new donors, and their gifts were quite substantial! Having a program that explains the ministry and tells the stories has been key.

The MI events model saved our ministry from shutting our doors after five hard-fought years. It gave us the platform to communicate our story and value to the community, and it gave us the champions and funds to move from surviving to growing and now thriving!

By inviting and training these table hosts, we were able to double our goal! This same group of individuals have already expressed to me how they want to come back and serve again as table hosts and volunteers.

Through the process of writing the script for this first-large scale fundraiser, the Lord revealed to me why we matter. That for me personally as the leader of this organization was the sweetest gift He could have given.

While I could stand up on the stage and talk about our ministry all day as a staff member, we’ve found that the most effective way to reach someone’s heart is by creating a connection through a shared story from a recipient of our ministry.

Doing the event allowed us to raise the immediate resources needed to continue our mission as well as sowed seeds for long-term relationships that are paying off now. Internally as well, it was a huge boost of morale for the staff, board and program participants to see the wider community come around and support us.

Five years ago I had a big idea, little experience and zero revenue. By God’s grace, I stumbled upon this events manual and followed the model. Eleven major events later, with over $1 million in annual revenue, the results speak for themselves.This manual contains the primary strategy God provided to help us fund our ministry from the ground up.

Prayer starts early in the process. Our staff prays for many things like the venue location, preparations, volunteers, decorators, table hosts, and also at the event with team leaders and volunteers. We also start our event with prayer and finish the evening with prayer.

Large events give us the opportunity to share the mission of what we do to a lot of people at the same time. At every event we share opportunities of how they can get involved through volunteerism as well. Every gift is valuable. Every year, we gain new champions that become active volunteers and invite their friends to participate.

We have seen an exponential increase in champions, both in their giving and in their ownership of the Dream Center vision. These events are a really powerful way to bring new people into the organization as well as inspire and call current participants into more.
