Support raising, done together.
What if support raising didn’t feel so heavy?
Not because you suddenly loved fundraising.
Not because you found the perfect script.
But because you weren’t doing it alone.
The Funding Tribe Monthly Challenge is a simple, monthly rhythm designed to help missionaries
build consistency, confidence, and momentum in support raising, together, as a tribe.
What This Challenge Is
The challenge is intentionally simple.
Each month, participants commit to:
One outreach call per weekday
Most calls take less than 10 minutes
One month at a time
Done together with a community
That’s it! No long-term contracts. No pressure to be perfect. Every month is a reset.
If you miss a day, you have two days to make it up. The focus is steady progress, not guilt.
What the Calls Are (and Aren’t)
These are calls to potential donors you already know or are connected to.
The goal of each call is simple:
Invite someone to a future support conversation.
You’re not asking for money on every call.
You’re opening doors and building momentum.
A completed call is a win.
Why This Works
Most missionaries already know what to do in support raising.
The hard part is:
Staying consistent
Doing it alone
Carrying the weight week after week
This challenge works because the community changes behavior.
When a group of missionaries shows up together, small daily actions become sustainable habits.
Momentum grows faster when we move together.
Monthly Reset Rhythm
Each challenge stands on its own.
Join for one month
Continue the next month if it’s helpful
Take a break anytime
Jump back in when you’re ready
There’s no falling behind. No catching up. No carrying guilt forward. February is our first challenge.
