Christian Foundation Grant’s new book:
Grants for Christian Ministries
and More!
This is not just another book on fundraising…
It’s about how your ministry or church can receive grants and More.
“Grants for Christian Ministries and More” was written to help Christian organizations advance to the next level in their funding. This book explains the grant writing process and more for Christian ministries--a sector that most fundraising books neglect to address.
But this isn't just one person's ideas on grant writing: it is a collaborative work. Whether it is a New York lawyer, a Kansas community foundation president, or a California grant writer, the best at the fundraising craft were found and asked to contribute a chapter.
This book contains chapters on building relationships with funders, writing a grant, preparing a compelling statement of need, and applying for federal faith-based grants. But the book does not stop with those standard fundraising topics. The "and more" ranges from a chapter on the demographic issues behind the coming charity crisis, to starting a planned giving program, to creative alternatives to foundation giving.

I purchased your book entiled Grants for Christian Ministries and More last fall and have read and re-read it a number of times. The book has been incredibly helpful as I am learning how to write grants for Bridge of Hope Community Church in Kansas City urban core. There were particular moments that I clearly remember statements like "Foundations give grants not because they can extend your vision, but because you can extend their vision. (page 71). It really is a partnership, isn't it. I'll close by saying "thank you" for writing this book. It has been underlined, tabbed in multiple places, and is quite dog-eared in appearance.
