Church Fundraising & Stewardship Consulting

Church fundraising consultants help churches conduct capital campaigns, improve stewardship, and build generosity culture.

With churches needing building funds and stewardship declining, church fundraising generates revenue of $130,000-$460,000 with 15-25% of funds raised or project fees.

The business requires church fundraising and capital campaign expertise, stewardship and generosity theology understanding, major donor cultivation skills, campaign management and timeline expertise, and church culture sensitivity.

Services include capital campaign consulting and management, annual stewardship campaigns, legacy and planned giving programs, major donor identification and cultivation, generosity teaching and preaching, and online giving strategy.

Revenue through percentage of funds raised or flat fees.

Success factors include proven capital campaign track record, understanding church stewardship theology (not just fundraising), major donor cultivation and relationship building, managing campaign timeline and feasibility studies, and serving churches with building or expansion needs.

Marketing focuses on churches planning buildings, denominational offices, church consultants, and pastoral networks.

With churches needing building funds and stewardship critical in 2025, church fundraising offers generosity opportunities serving congregations with campaign expertise and theology as differentiators.
