They’re changing lives, serving the community, doing Kingdom work. Then comes the ask: “Will you join our board?” or “Can you help fund our budget shortfall?” Your heart says yes. Your business instincts say, “This organization isn’t ready for my investment.” As a Christian business leader, you face this tension constantly. You want to support Kingdom work, but too many nonprofits lack the organizational capacity to steward resources well. Passionate founders often lack business acumen. Boards function ineffectively. Fundraising feels desperate rather than strategic. The result? Donors become ATMs, board service becomes frustrating, and ministry potential goes unrealized. There’s a better way.
The Problem: Great Mission, Weak Infrastructure
Since 1999, Mission Increase has reached over 10,000 Christian nonprofits, and the pattern is consistent: ministry leaders excel at their calling but struggle with organizational management. They know how to serve foster children, reach youth, feed the hungry, or share the gospel—but they don’t know how to build sustainable funding models, develop effective boards, or create strategic plans. You’ve seen this firsthand. The nonprofit leader who can’t articulate clear metrics. The board meeting that lacks strategic focus. The organization perpetually in crisis mode, lurching from one funding gap to the next. The passionate executive who treats fundraising like begging rather than inviting partners into transformational work. These aren’t character flaws—they’re capacity gaps. And they cost the Kingdom dearly.
The Solution: Strategic Capacity Building
Mission Increase transforms well-intentioned nonprofits into well-run ministries through comprehensive capacity building delivered at no cost to the organizations they serve:
The results are remarkable—and measurable.
Real Transformation: The Business Case
Consider IndyCar Ministry. When Jason Holt became Executive Director in 2023, their entire fundraising strategy was “send an email asking for money.” They had seven monthly donors and no systematic approach to development. After working with Mission Increase, IndyCar Ministry grew to 56 monthly partners—an 800% increase. But here’s what matters more: they now operate strategically rather than desperately. They’ve built a sustainable funding model. They understand how to cultivate long-term champions, not just one-time givers. Or take Satellite Gaming, which reaches youth through video games. In just two years with Mission Increase:
These aren’t anomalies.
What This Means for You
As a business leader regularly approached by nonprofits, Mission Increase gives you a powerful response to capacity concerns:
The Champion Development Difference
Mission Increase teaches nonprofits “Champion Development,” a biblical framework that transforms transactional fundraising into discipleship. Instead of treating donors as funding sources, nonprofits learn to invite people into transformational engagement through praying, giving, serving, learning, and sharing. This approach resonates with business leaders because it builds sustainable partnerships rather than perpetual dependency. It creates the kind of donor relationships you actually want to be part of—strategic, relational, and Kingdom-focused.
You don’t need to write a check to Mission Increase to leverage their impact (though they welcome donor partners who multiply their reach). Your most immediate opportunity is simpler: connect the nonprofits you care about with Mission Increase. When that next nonprofit leader asks for your support, give them something more valuable than money alone—give them access to training that will multiply every dollar they raise and every hour their board invests.
