funding the camp ministry


An FCA Home team is a group of supporters that have committed to help fund the ministry. I am not looking for people who just want to support Brian (Me), but those that catch the vision of where FCA Camp Ministry is headed.

My funding plan:
  • Asking God to fund the ministry through His people that have a heart for coaches and athletes.
  • Getting sponsors for our camping events that will underwrite our expenses allowing us to lower the price and bring in revenue that will help fund my salary.
  • Creating a Home Team that will support the FCA camp ministry. This too, will help lower the price of our events, making camps more affordable for every community.

Leaving a Legacy:

  • When the day comes that I leave this ministry, I want to have an existing funding plan working for the next person that will take on this ministry. (Not that I'm planning to leave)
  • If I just raise support from people who know me and want to support ME, then when I leave, most likely their support leaves and the new director has to start from scratch.
  • If I can build sponsorships and a Home Team of people that want to support the camping ministry, then when I leave their support remains for the next person.
  • I want to start something that God will use long after I am gone.

Funding Goals:

  • $150,000 total
  • $50,000 in sponsorships (currently $5,000)
  • $50,000 in scholarships (currently $50,000/year)
  • $50,000 in home team support (currently $0)
