The Windy World of Fundraising

Your friends at Flagship are dedicated to equipping you to navigate the windy world of fundraising and empowering you to elevate generosity in the Kingdom of God. We are passionate about immersing ourselves in the corner of the world and unique problems to which you are called.

We think outside the box. We create processes, materials, and communities that engage generous hearts.

What each ministry needs may look a little different, but below are some of the things that a partnership with Flagship could provide.

“I have loved my time being coached by Flagship! Emily and Taylor are not only co-laborers in Kingdom work, but I now consider them great friends! They both listened to my desires and goals, and they joined right in where I needed their expertise the most. They are both down to earth, super relatable, and available. They exceeded my expectations for what a consulting relationship could be! I highly recommend you give them an opportunity to take your fundraising efforts to the next level.”

127 Worldwide Case Study  During the four months when Flagship teamed up with 127 Worldwide, we raised $40,000 in new commitments of monthly and one-time gifts. Further, we submitted 3 grant proposals in consideration of $70,000. Important to note, this time when we nurtured donors and invited them to support 127 Worldwide was smack dab in the middle of the COVID crisis.

We developed key messaging and infrastructure for a new, interactive giving community called The Table. This was a special invitation for supporters to pull up a chair with believers with similar passions who were committed to working with local leaders to find holistic solutions to the problems facing vulnerable communities.

Designed to build stronger relationships and generate recurring revenue, we engaged 16 new monthly donors and 14 current supporters increased their commitments. With a total of $18,480, they are now expecting $905 and growing in new monthly income.

127 Worldwide’s Case for Support was turned into a slide show presentation to engage donors and potential supporters virtually during a unique season. As they kicked off their Restoring Hope Campaign with changed circumstances, they received $22,600 in new commitments.

We hope to join your team and immerse ourselves in your cause. We believe God has given you a very special calling. At Flagship, ours is to help you navigate and elevate generosity.

Meet Taylor Johnson, Director of Strategic Partnerships

I feel so fortunate that ministry leaders have invited me into their community. It is an honor to be trusted to advocate for their cause and empower them to elevate generosity.

By the time I got to college I knew I wanted my work to be mixed in with what I was passionate about. Sometimes I wondered why it seemed like classmates and peers felt so deeply and directly connected to one cause, one population, and one solution.

Whereas I felt deeply connected to all people and all causes though I knew I couldn’t work for a nonprofit that served all people and all causes. Of course, this wouldn’t be a sustainable mission. As someone dedicated to spending time in God’s presence and in serving my neighbors, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was missing something.

What was my purpose?

In 2015, I entered what I now call my “sowing season.” I started working for a university that shaped me and got to advocate for brilliant students as a Development Officer. Though I knew it was not exactly where I wanted to stay, the skills and opportunities I had I knew were exactly what I needed at that time.God gently reminded me that in due time I will reap the benefits from those skills and opportunities to use for the Kingdom.

At Flagship, I now see the space God was making in my heart to have incredible passion for whatever the need was right in front of me. I have the space to jump two feet into your passion, your cause, your calling.

I respect the call God has given to your ministry. I admire your commitment to those you serve. Through Flagship, I hope to help you fill in any gaps in your fundraising efforts to create a launching pad for your vision.

I look forward to partnering with you.

Taylor
