Serving Michigan Institutions

We can help your institution generate the income you need to achieve your goals and objectives.

Develop Audit and Evaluation

Drawing upon nearly 20 years of professional fundraising experience and expertise, the Foundation staff is available to consult with you to evaluate the development ministry of your organization. This service may help you identify new areas for service or new staff initiatives.

Planned Giving Program Development

The Foundation can help your organization begin to tap the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. If your institution is not currently receiving a significant and growing portion of its gift income through planned giving vehicles, this may be the next step in your development ministry.

Donor Contact and Cultivation

Because many institutions lack adequate field staff to follow-up with donor prospects, countless gifts are lost. The Foundation staff can be your agent in extending the reach of the organization to the donor's home anywhere in Michigan.

Planned Giving Presentations and Programs

The Foundation's trained presenters are available to address board meetings, donor seminars, and annual meetings, as well as a wide variety of other venues for information and inspiration. Learn why the Foundation's staff have presented at events like the United Methodist Convocation on Development, North American Conference on Christian Philanthropy, Christian Management Institute, Robert Schuller Institute of Successful Church Leadership and many other outstanding conferences across the USA and Canada.
