The training was incredible. It was really the most impactful fundraising training I’ve had since ordination in 2004. It really helped me rethink how we tell the story… It helped me understand that the ask needed to be donor and relationship focused… I think that’s why we have been so successful.
The timing of [the site] visit was perfect. Really, they helped us figure out the right questions to ask… Definitely that was a turning point for all of us.
If I had been here all alone, I would’ve been overwhelmed but Partners was a net for me, someone with expertise

The primary benefits were spiritual and communal. It had a real impact on the congregation. It’s been growing for the past year and a half, and this very much continued through this time. We saw a marked increase in our regular giving and our monthly giving. It also gave us an opportunity to talk about why the church matters.
