In this interview, I speak with Father Robert McTeigue, SJ from The Station of the Cross Catholic Radio Network on how Catholic apostolates should consider fundraising in light of their faith.

We explore how the saints went about asking for donations, particularly Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Saint Theresa of Avila, and Alphonsus Rodriguez

You will enjoy this interview as I explain how to fundraise for a Catholic cause in the 21st century, what you should avoid doing, and where the biggest opportunities are.

When I was recently back in Dallas, Texas, Dave Palmer, manager at Catholic radio station KATH 980, invited me back on his show to give his listeners an update on what’s happening in the world of Catholic fundraising.

Our conversation focused on three important lessons when it comes to fundraising within the Church.

While many Catholic nonprofits and missions spend most of their time on the ‘money side’ of fundraising, Dave and I agreed that, without the proper focus and determination, your fundraising will likely stagger and your cause won’t reach its full potential.

The 3 Tips to Stay on Track with Fundraising

Tip 1 – Be Patient: Patience is a virtue for a reason. We all agree that fundraising is challenging and therefore, you’ve got to be resilient and not give up. It takes time to get things going and find donors.

I got to sit down with Jennifer Fulwiler recently, and we talked about the struggles of using our God-given gifts while living in the world.
