Introducing the Black Ministry Fundraising Academy: A Call for Leadership Collaboration


At NFM, we’re excited to announce the development of the Black Ministry Fundraising Academy, a course designed to help Black churches strengthen their fundraising strategies. This course will empower church leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive financially, but we need your help to make it truly effective.


Why We Need You


We’re limiting participation to ten influential Black church leaders who will collaborate with us on shaping this course. Your insights will help us address the real challenges Black churches face in fundraising, from donor engagement to building sustainable financial plans.


How You Can Help


We’ve created a Pre-Development Course Survey to gather valuable input on your church’s unique needs. Whether it’s struggling to attract young donors or lacking a clear fundraising plan, your feedback will ensure that this course is practical, relevant, and effective.


Exclusive Collaboration Opportunity


As one of the ten leaders, you’ll have the chance to shape the curriculum directly. This isn’t just a course designed for you—it’s a course designed with you. We value your leadership and expertise, and your involvement will help us create a program that delivers real results for Black churches.


Stay Tuned


More information is coming soon! This is a unique opportunity to be part of something transformative. If you’re interested in helping us develop the Black Ministry Fundraising Academy, stay tuned for updates and get ready to share your voice.


As always, thank you for allowing NFM to serve your fundraising needs. It’s an honor to work alongside you all.
