Our culture attracts and keeps great talent and allows us to partner with ministries around the world to provide a multi-channel approach to fundraising and communication that produces results.
A Biblical Theology of Fundraising
Dunham+Company’s approach to ministry fundraising is built on a biblical theology of fundraising that at its core is about two things. First, we are about motivating God’s people to fund God’s Kingdom program here on earth. As we do, we achieve the greater objective of aligning the hearts of God’s people with God’s Kingdom program. To have Christians treasure what God treasures… because as they do, God will get what He wants and that’s their heart. As Jesus said in Matthew 6:19-21…
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Brand Strategy
What is Brand Strategy? Put simply, it isn’t a corporate identity (logo/mark) or a design manual. Instead, its purpose is to identify and firmly establish your organization on a unique positioning you can own within the category you represent. And why the need for a Brand Strategy? Because in today’s economic climate, you want to encourage greater – and longer term – support from your target market. But to achieve that, your organization not only needs new clarity in how to communicate itself effectively, it needs to be perceived as being set apart from other like-ministries.
By identifying your organization’s true differentiator, it empowers the reason why you exist. It gives you clarity on how to communicate your cause single-mindedly. And it removes the reliance on short-term, uninformed tactics. Instead now, your tactics are informed by the right brand strategy from the start that will ultimately help you fulfill your vision and maximize its effect. And that’s a great cause.
