Most Black churches and faith-based nonprofits qualify for foundation grants, government funding, and major donor relationships they have never accessed. Here is what funders are actually looking for — and what needs to be in place before you walk into that room.

Most leaders are stuck in a cycle where the church's bank account depends entirely on who shows up on Sunday morning. If it’s a holiday or a rainy day, the mission suffers. We call this the "Sunday Morning Trap." It happens when you try to fund a 24/7 community project with a 1-hour-a-week collection plate. In this post, we show you how to find people who want to support your work even if they never step foot in your building. It's time to stop surviving Sunday-to-Sunday and start building a plan that lasts all year long.
