Our staff work directly with today’s biggest influencers: Coaches & Athletes

• “A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime.” - Billy Graham

FCA is a faith-financed ministry and depends on the generosity of donors to support the ministry.

• Each FCA field ministry role includes responsibility for raising financial support to cover salary, benefits, and ministry expenses.
• This missionary funding model can be a challenge for onboarding new staff and and retaining staff who need to raise adequate funds to sustain long-term ministry.
• We want to maintain the basis of the missionary funding model, but take some of the burden of fundraising off so staff can spend more time in ministry
• This will also help us attract top-quality staff

The FCA Generations Endowment is connecting FCA donors with more ways to make a long-term impact. The Fund offsets the financial burden on FCA of Minnesota staff by supplementing their fundraising with endowment distributions.

• It doesn’t (and will never) replace fundraising.

Giving To Impact
A Creative Fundraising Solution

• The endowment will allow FCA-MN to more strategically manage the financial gifts from our ministry partners.
• Dividend Payments - scheduled distributions based on interest earned
• Long-Term Investment - an alternative to one-time gifts and monthly support
• Generational Impact - gifts today are still impacting for years to come

An Effective Path Forward

• The endowment will supplement, and not replace, FCA-MN staffers’ fundraising efforts as part of full-time FCA work.
• More Time for Ministry - with lower financial thresholds to reach, greater freedom for ministry
• Strategic Use of Gifts - leveraging the powers of compound interest and financial management
• Improved Partnership with Staff - building retention and incentives by sharing financial burdens with staff.

The Goal

• $33 Million by December of 2028
