Gain Fundraising Momentum

How can a $3 cup of coffee lead to a $100,000 donation?

We know how to bring together supporters who willingly link their arms with yours in a shared belief in a God-given dream. We craft best method practices that build life-long relationships with established and new donors. What makes The Timothy Group unique in building donor engagement momentum is simple yet successful. We don’t need to rely on high-pressure arm-twisting tactics. Your fundraising goals are accomplished by dreams being shared in coffee shops, homes and other places people are comfortable gathering in. When a dream is a mutual belief, others entrust you with their God-given resources.

I Timothy 6:18-19 (NIV) Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

Testimonial

  • After each contract, we could say that we were in a better position than ever before, with more understanding, more contacts, better tools, and supporters more fired up. The Timothy Group's way of working is deeply relational, systematic, and comprehensive. We now have a far wider range of major donors, monthly donors, and advocates, and amazing opportunities close at hand. When a second history of our organization is written, The Timothy Group should feature prominently in the current chapter.

  • I’m delighted to recommend the services of Pat McLaughlin and The Timothy Group. Pat’s insights, training, and consulting added significant value to the growth of our ministry–and the effectiveness of our development team. During our engagement with TTG, our revenue increased over $1.5 million with a foundation laid for significantly higher growth in the future.
