About the Author

Catholic Fundraiser

Brice was born and raised Catholic. After enjoying a successful career in technology consulting with Accenture and PriceWaterhouseCoopers in cities across the United States (Dallas, San Francisco, Paris, Abu Dhabi, and London) around the world, he left it to help his Catholic diocese in London, England with a fundraising campaign. The campaign went on to raise over $50 million, the largest sum ever raised for the diocese and in the United Kingdom.

Learning from professional fundraisers, he figured out the basics and then left the diocese to focus on what he loves most: building Catholic charities that change the culture, save lives, and save souls.

Brice currently lives in Texas and travels the world helping Catholics fundraise. This website is where he shares what he is doing and how he is raising funds for Catholic causes and missions. That way you can move more quickly with your next appeal.

But donors don’t just appear.

I didn’t just bump into donors each time I ran a campaign. Neither will you.

However! Even though donors don’t appear with the snap of your fingers, here’s what you can do to make the search a lot easier:

When you’re writing an appeal letter or an end-of-year appeal letter, the first thing you’ll think about is how to ask for a donation properly.

In other words, how do you lead up to the donation, and what words would you use?

That’s why I like turning to the saints for guidance.

Today, let us turn to Saint Paul, the Apostle.

You could write your appeal however you want. Or, you could get a better response by learning how Saint Paul captivated his audience – in particular, the Galatians.

That’s what this week’s video is all about:

How to Run a Catholic #GivingTuesday Fundraiser on Facebook

Introducing the "Facebook #GivingTuesday Fundraising Guide for Catholics"

As you know, Tuesday, December 3 is #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving encouraging people to donate to their favorite non-profits.

Why is this day so important for you and your Catholic apostolate? It is one of those rare days that you can ask for donations on social media and get a very positive response.

Therefore, I highly recommend you run a Facebook fundraising campaign.

But that is not the best reason for running a #GivingTuesday campaign on the social media platform. Facebook will charge you 0% for processing donations and

… drum roll…

Facebook will match up to $100,000 in donations.

I have provided you a step by step guide that outlines everything you need to do. Check it out here:

Saint Claude, Divine Providence, and Fundraising

The Catholic perspective for how Divine Providence actually connects with fundraising

I think the bar for Catholics who want to fundraise is to link your campaigns to the wisdom of the saints. That is why my fundraising campaigns have thrived all these years. It’s because I always use the saints and Church teaching as the foundation.

Today, let me share with you how divine providence connects with fundraising.

Catholics who fundraise often say, “I trust in divine providence when it comes to finding donations.”

What does that REALLY mean?

Thomas à Kempis teaches how to raise funds

Three fundraising insights from the spiritual classic, Imitation of Christ

After organizing a successful fundraising campaign, I am feeling very blessed. I am humbled by the generosity of people for the incredible work that Catholic apostolates do.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I raise funds?” – The answer is YES; you can.

But fundraising takes more than just asking.

Take, for example, the highly acclaimed spiritual guide, The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis.

Here are three takeaways that I learned from this book that made a massive difference for me:

  1. Make your fundraising Christ-focused – book reference
  2. Be patient (meaning… don’t complain) – book reference
  3. Govern your mission, rather than money governing it – book reference
