Raising Long-Term Support Requires A Shift Away From Old Habits

The old way of raising support means uncomfortable face-to-face meetings, paper newsletters, tons of phone calls, or speaking at churches and hoping people give.

But chasing donations and hoping one-time donors become monthly supporters is stressful and unpredictable.

That's Why We’re Thrilled You Have An Interest In Fully Funded Academy!

We're Mary Valloni and Mike Kim, and the system we provide eliminates stress and helps you grow your donor base, stay "top of mind" with supporters, and build relationships in a way that creates dependable, reliable support for your ministry … every single month.

We've helped organizations like the American Cancer Society, the ALS Association, and the Special Olympics and ministries like Catalyst and People of the Second Chance generate millions of dollars. We've seen what works (and what doesn't) and we're here to help you build long-lasting, stress-free and stable financial support.

The one idea Mary shared on building a fundraising support team has taken us from 35% funded to over 80% funded ... in under 100 days! I was starting to wear down a bit in my own striving, God’s grace took over when I took action and implemented this idea.

So What is Fully Funded Academy?

Fully Funded Academy is a monthly membership training program that gives you the clarity and confidence to launch, grow, and scale your financial support base.

We’ve taken over 18 years of working with thousands of missionaries, ministries, and non-profits and distilled it down into the few key strategies that will make all the difference for you.

When you apply this system and strategies, you’ll have more breathing room, less stress, and a lot more time to do the work that matters.

Specifically, Fully Funded Academy is Based Around the 7 Core Strategies For Long-Term Support Raising Success, Starting With...

1. Focus Your Vision

How much do you need to become fully funded? We want you to see that your budget is not only worth funding, but it’s worth being fully funded! This is the foundational step that all of your support raising stands on. If you don’t know where you’re going, you’re never going to get there.

Run your research

2. Run Your Research

Very few ministry leaders enjoy digging into the numbers to pull out the data. You would rather spend your time teaching, preaching, planting churches, and helping people in need. What you don’t realize is that a little research will give you incredible confidence to know that you’re asking the right people and for the right amount.

3. Enlist Your Team

Just like sports teams need team captains, you need a team captain for your support raising team. In this strategic step, you are looking for a sharp business-minded volunteer who is capable of showing others how to give generously and support your efforts. By inviting just one individual or couple to serve in this role, you’re showing others how they can give too!

4. Enhance Your Brand

It's natural to want to direct the attention away from yourself. Great leaders of our time like Mother Theresa or Billy Graham didn't want attention, either. But in an effort to reach as many people as possible, you need to step up and be the leaders people need you to be. A clear brand resonates with donors and allows friends, family, and supporters to refer others to you.

A clear brand resonates with donors and allows friends, family, and supporters to refer others to you.

5. Deploy Your Team

All good teams are made up of strong team members who are clear on what their role is and isn’t. Every member needs to have ownership in a project or task that only they can do. If your team members don’t “feel” like they have the go ahead to share your message, they won’t. We'll give you the materials and the messaging to send your team out on your behalf to raise funds.

6. Organize Your Ask

You may feel uncomfortable or antsy when it comes to this part of the process, but you can avoid many common mistakes if you set up a process for "the ask". Your process will be different for individuals, churches and businesses. Once you know your audience and how they think, you’ll be able to customize a message that resonates directly with them.

7. Make Your Difference

The reason you’re even asking for support is so you can ultimately make a difference in the world! There’s no greater change agent than the gospel of Jesus Christ. Being fully funded allows you to focus on the task at hand. It’s in this final step that we celebrate the incredible team of people you've pulled together and the life-changing work that your ministry is doing!

Everything You Need Will Be At Your Fingertips. We're Not Throwing You Some Random Tactics, We're Training You In A Proven System.

 

Mike Kim teaching missionaries how to raise support

This is based on our experience working with thousands of support raisers. It’s based on our real-world experience of being in the trenches helping missionaries, parachurch orgs, church plants, and NPOs like the American Cancer Society, the ALS Association, and the Special Olympics raise high 6 and even 7-figures.

It's also based on the hours and hours we spend every year consulting high level organizations from all around the world. These are the exact strategies and ideas you need to launch, grow, and scale your financial support and get fully funded. The best part? We're going to be with you every step of the way.

Who Is Fully Funded Academy For?

Our clients range from missionaries eager to be on the field in the next few months to those who have been on the field for years or even decades. All have the same mission: to fulfill the Great Commission and not let money (or the lack thereof) get in the way.

If you’re reading this, we have no doubt that you take your cause seriously. You know it’s your path to seeing souls saved. It’s the path God has called you to, for His glory. And, it's the life you love because it's the life God has given you.

So, here's our question for you:

Are you ready to step up into a bigger vision? Are you ready to start raising support? Or dramatically grow your current support base? Are you ready to step into everything that more financial stability would mean for you? More building projects? More care packages? More resources for the people you serve? A bigger impact in the world?

If you know that anything is possible with the right strategy, the right support and total focus and commitment, then Fully Funded Academy is for you.

It's Not for the “Tire Kicker”

This is the person who just wants to “kind of” check things out. You can’t “kind of” create a thriving donor base that creates a steady stream of recurring revenue. Success doesn’t just “kind of” happen. You have to be intentional right from the get go.

Getting these types of results takes a commitment. Would you want to fly with a pilot who “kind of” knew how to fly? Or go into surgery with a doctor who “kind of” knew what she was doing? Of course not!

Fully Funded Academy is for people who are committed to funding their ministry a better way and are willing to shift away from old habits. If the commitment isn’t there, then this is NOT the right program for you and we ask that you please do not sign up.

NOT For…

It's Not for the “Money Magician”

This is the person who thinks that just by enrolling, thousands of dollars are going to magically start rolling into the bank account. As mentioned above, it takes a commitment to learn and actually requires action. You have to implement.

If you apply what you learn, you will get results. But the results won’t come just because you enrolled. You have to actually use what you learn.

…and certainly
NOT For?

It’s Not for the “Mr. or Ms. Know-It-All” or “Been There, Done That”

What we’ll be sharing with you works and we have LOTS of real world stories of clients who have doubled, tripled, or even 10x'd their support. If you’re someone who likes to focus on why something “wouldn’t work”, then this is not for you either.

We’ve said before, many of the strategies are counter intuitive to what most people teach – and that’s partly why they work so well. You have to be open to what we're sharing otherwise it’s going to be a frustrating experience for all three of us.

…and certainly
NOT For?

Backed By Proof: Fully Funded Academy Gets Real People, Real Results.

Fully Funded Academy has been proven to get results in a wide variety of ministries. Take a look at some recent students who decided Fully Funded Academy was right for them:

Christian & Hannah Swails

“We have been supporting raising for the last 3 years and raised 60% of our goal. After implementing the strategies from Mike and Mary we have sky rocketed to 95% in just 2 months. We are so thankful for Mike and Mary and their obedience to God’s calling on their lives!”

Christian & Hannah Swails, Fully Funded Missionaries

Nora McNamara

“I’ve been a missionary for over 20 years and so thankful for Fully Funded Academy. It’s changed my whole story in support-raising. They’ve given me tools that have given me confidence, and as a result people are giving more. It’s taught me to serve and not 'sell' the ministry. Such good stuff!”

Don Allen

“Thanks to an email approach and a fundraising sequence that I learned in Fully Funded Academy, I surpassed my $2,500 fundraising goal for a month-long overseas coaching trip after only 10 days!”

Christian & Hannah Swails, Fully Funded Missionaries

We’ve Said It Once,
We’ll Say It Again

If you follow the training we provide for you, you will make progress, and that’s why we guarantee it with a…

“You’re Fully Covered” Guarantee: Try It for A Full 14-Days, 100% Risk Free.

If you are unhappy with Fully Funded Academy during the first 2 weeks, we want to give you your money back. Here's why:

Over the last eighteen years, we've worked with thousands of missionaries and organizations in a variety of "markets" -- but they all had one thing in common: the need to raise more money.

We've also been coaching and consulting larger organizations to help them clarify their message and raise more money. We've seen what works in more markets than we can possibly explain. That means we've invested thousands of hours mastering this craft and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of our own money testing, tweaking and identifying the few key strategies that make all the difference.

Guarantee Seal

Guarantee

These strategies have produced tremendous results for us and our clients. But before putting them into a program, we knew we needed to replicate them in a wide variety of markets.

So for the last year we've flown all over the world sharing the academy materials with multiple groups – many of which started with no idea on how to even get started with becoming fully funded. And after they implemented these strategies, they too saw profound results that allowed them to fund their ministries. The Fully Funded approach just flat out works.

Here’s How the Guarantee Works

Go through the program. If you don’t love it, email us during the first 14 days, show us you’re doing the exercises, and we'll immediately send you a prompt and courteous refund.

By the way, we ask you to send us your work because we know if you implement what we teach, you will get results. However, if you’re thinking of purchasing without doing anything, we both know you won’t make any progress.

We're not interested in spending energy supporting “tire kickers”… and hopefully this isn’t you. Our Fully Funded tribe will be made up of people who take their ministries seriously: people who understand the value of recurring donations and what that means for their long term success. These are the people we know will succeed with Fully Funded Academy.

That’s why we want you to go through the course for 14 days, implement what we share and begin experiencing the benefits. Fully Funded Academy is the most complete system for producing a stable, reliable, recurring revenue stream… and we can’t wait to help you do the same.
