Fundraising

We have had the privilege of helping client organizations to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. But far beyong “flash-and-ash” fundraising, we’ve helped to build sustainable, high-performing development departments for dozens of leading ministries. For us, the test of true value lies not in one-off fundraising successes, but in the ability to increasingly fund life-changing and world-impacting organizations year after year, decade after decade. In two national independent studies of nonprofit organizations and consulting firms by Campbell-Rinker, McConkey • Johnston International was recognized as the “Best General Fundraising Counsel in the Christian Sector.”

We won’t say we’ve seen it all. The truth is, no one has. But we’ve helped dozens of Christian organizations of virtually every type and size to excel and to build durable development programs. From Christian camps to rescue missions, and from media ministries to relief and development organizations, we’ve partnered with clients to craft strategies, build sustainable structure and systems, and strengthen organizational cultures essential to excellence in fundraising.

From start-up causes to mid-size organizations and mega-ministries with budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars, we tailor solutions to fit your unique needs. We’re not a preconceived solution in search of a problem, and we frown on cookie cutter answers that seek to force-fit your organization into a pre-assembled box. What’s more, we’re not “slick” and we frown on programs that rely on gimmicks or manipulation to raise funds. We hold fundraising – and development more broadly – to be a sacred trust with donors and a matter of stewardship to be treated with the utmost care.
