Fundraising Resources

Welcome to our fundraising resource pack, created to support you in your role as a Local Mission Partner with Scripture Union. Here, you’ll find a range of helpful documents offering practical tools, guidance and information. Whether you’re new to fundraising or looking to build on what you’re already doing, these resources will help you take the next step with confidence. The Fundraising Pack has been created to help you plan, develop, and strengthen fundraising activity. It brings together practical guidance, ideas, and prompts to support local conversations and action planning.

Main Fundraising Guide

Created in partnership by Scripture Union and Dani Knox (The Fundraising Coach), this practical guide is designed to support your fundraising. It brings together key principles, simple tools and real-life examples to help you explore different income streams, assess your current position and take manageable steps to grow your support. 

These fundraising resources have been produced through significant investment by Scripture Union exclusively for our Mission Partners. Please keep them confidential and do not share the resources, or the link to this page, with anyone outside the Mission Partner Trust.
