“The ‘Ministry to the Philanthropist’ is as much an art
as it is a service.” – Mike Stickler

Meeting and establishing meaningful relationships with funders can make a real impact on your ministry for years to come. That’s why I have developed the most compressive training for ministries who have the desire and commitment to Minister to this group of people.

You are watching the ENGAGING PHILANTHROPY preview presentation.

Are Your Ready?
In this introductory session Mike Stickler, visionary of Vision 2020, will be walking you through the practical steps of finding, connecting and establishing long-term philanthropic relationships. Plus, you’ll learn tips from the professionals: What to do and what NOT to do.
Philanthropist and Marketplace Leaders are looking for well-qualified and meaningful organizations to partner with. I designed this program, because I was traveling on an airplane one day and met a woman who said to me. “Do you know of an effective, well run organization? I can’t seem to find one.” I realized at that moment – ministries and nonprofits don’t know how to effectively work with this segment of supporters!
  • Why, when you ask a funder for money, the atmosphere cools almost instantly?
  • After meeting a Marketplace Leader – why they don’t seem to return your calls?
  • Why they say they are coming to your event – then are a no show?
  • Why it seemed like they were going to send a big check and instead gave only, well, not as you hoped?
  • Have you ever heard the statement, “You need to run this more like a business?”
  • Do you know why your ministry is thought of a poor investment? – I do.

Are you committed to open your ministry experience to a new group that desires to grow spiritually? If you are, I can help.

There are literally 1000’s of these folks in your community who are just looking for a purpose and reason to come alongside your efforts and you alongside of them.

In this series, I will show you how to minister to new funders, how to begin the relationship, and how to sustain it in a way where you avoid all the uncomfortable feelings and form the relationship in a natural way that honors you, the funder and the Lord.

I will coach you on the best practices of donor strategies and event planning.

What are others saying about Mike Stickler and the Vision Group Ltd

“Mike Stickler has proven to be a genuine city-reacher as he worked consistently to network pastors and business leaders together. In fact, if Mike had not hung in there and persevered by keeping the process alive, I think it is safe to say that the Reno Festival would never have materialized.”
Colin James, Vice President, Luis Palau Association

“I feel that the Vision Group has tremendously helped Truckee Meadows Habitat for Humanity reach beyond ourselves to access funds that we always wanted to get to, but didn’t have our own internal resources to achieve. The impact the Vision Group has on our operations is more than just the grant writing; they also bring the same savvy marketing input that the for-profit business world has enjoyed for years.
David Lacerda, President, Truckee Meadows Habitat for Humanity

“I was surprised we got the first grant proposal funded we sent out because it was the first ever. The Vision Group was extremely helpful. They walked us through the entire process and did the majority of the work for us. They were flexible and efficient.”
Chip Riggs, Hope Baptist Las Vegas, NV

“WOW! What an incredible training! Mike made the learning fun, challenging and interesting. I can’t remember the last time I attended a seminar where I felt I wanted to say “can you keep going?” (vs. what time is lunch?)…”
Furthering the Kingdom of Christ,
Marie Monsalve, Events Coordinator, Alternate Avenues Women’s Resource Center

“I attended a grant-writing seminar provided by Mike and his group. This seminar was packed full of practical information, not just grant writing, but board development and fundraising ideas. I immediately went back to my office and signed up for more technical assistance. With this seminar’s information, I feel that the direction and vision of this ministry has been solidified and now we are in the process of fine-tuning it into what it really needs to be.”
J. Joncas, Executive Director, Maritime Ministries
