The Fundraising Action Plan — $299
Need to raise money and figure out what to do next? Build a clear plan for your next 90 days of fundraising.
Get clear on how much you need to raise, who to approach first, and what your team will do each week. A self-guided workbook for Christian nonprofits and ministries ready to turn a funding need into action.
Make the next step clear.
When the funding need feels urgent, it is easy to jump between outreach, events, presentation edits, and unfinished follow-up. The Fundraising Action Plan gives you a sequence for choosing your priorities and carrying them through. Connect your ministry’s funding needs to a practical plan rooted in stewardship and meaningful, long-lasting relationships.
What you will create:
A funding goal, deadline, and explanation of what the money will support.
A contribution scenario connected to real relationships.
A prioritized resource partner list with an owner and next step for each relationship.
Outreach messages and a 90-day action calendar.
A weekly review of activity, commitments, and resources received.
What is inside
The nine-page editable workbook includes a funding target worksheet, contribution scenario template, relationship prioritization guide, case-for-support prompts, four adaptable outreach and update messages, a 13-week calendar, progress tables, and a completed fictional plan.
The worksheets distinguish pending asks, confirmed commitments, and payments, so your funding picture stays clear as conversations progress. Templates are editable tables that you can expand or transfer into your existing system.
How it works:
Define the work, cost, existing funding, and remaining need.
Prioritize relationships with evidence of fit and an appropriate route to a conversation.
Write your message and schedule realistic outreach actions.
Review what happened each week and adjust at days 30 and 60.
Who it is for
This workbook is for founders, executive directors, and fundraising leaders who need a relationship-based fundraising plan. It works whether you are organizing your first structured effort or replacing an inconsistent process.
It focuses on resource partner outreach and follow-through. It does not provide a grant application course, event production plan, or a list of people who will fund your work.

-
No. The workbook is an editable document. You can use its tables directly or transfer the fields into a system you already use.
