Christian schools only have two major sources of revenues: tuition and philanthropy. The Christian School and Philanthropy delves deeply into how school leaders can raise transformational philanthropic dollars. At times story telling, at times grittily detailed, at times reflective, we challenge secular assumptions about donor motivation, the nature of the donor, and typical fund-raising scenarios. In its place, we provide a deeply Biblical narrative pulling from the examples of Jesus’ own fund-raising committee, the travels of Paul, and the extraordinary fund-raising achievements of the Hebrew Scriptures. Backed by the latest research from multiple sources, and proven in the experience of our Christian schools, we offer you practical pathways irrespective of the size of your school. Professionals and volunteers alike will find helpful strategies and tactics to take your school to the next level.
