The Almoner’s Blog

Every week, the Almoner will provide new fundraising ideas that will help you raise money for your Church or ministry. The articles will include fictional letters addressing a specific type of fundraising, interviews, and book reviews.

“A very useful tool for pastors, so many of whom are called upon to seek funding for projects in their parishes. There is a fair amount that is available for them regarding what is commonly called ‘stewardship,’ but not a lot on fundraising. There should be a willing audience for this helpful volume in the epistolary style.”
Bishop Joel M. Konzen, Archdiocese of Atlanta
