Donor Relations for Churches & Ministries
We build transformational recurring donor systems that fund your mission. A dedicated team of strategists, content creators, and campaign specialists working behind the scenes so your staff can focus on ministry.
Proven Results
Collected in One Fiscal Year
We helped a streaming ministry create and deploy their digital giving platform and campaign, which collected over $1.3 million in a single fiscal year.
Increase in Weekly Donations
We helped a local church develop their donor gifting program and communications outreach to increase weekly donations by 36%.
The Power of a Recurring Donor
One-time gifts keep the lights on. Recurring donors build the future. They are your most engaged supporters, your most reliable revenue, and the foundation every sustainable ministry is built on.
A recurring donor gives 5 times more over their lifetime than a one-time donor. They do not need to be asked every month. They have already committed.
It costs significantly less to retain a recurring donor than to acquire a new one. Every recurring donor you keep is revenue you do not have to earn again.
Recurring revenue lets you budget with confidence. Staff, programs, outreach, expansion. You stop reacting to giving fluctuations and start planning growth.
Recurring donors are not just givers. They are partners. They open your emails, attend your events, share your content, and become advocates for your cause.
"The organizations that thrive are not chasing one-time gifts. They are building a community of committed partners who give, engage, and grow with the mission every month."
What We Do
We become the team behind your donor engagement, communications, and revenue growth; so your staff can stay focused on ministry.
Personalized email, SMS, and direct outreach sequences that keep your donors informed, inspired, and connected to your mission year-round.
Appeals, giving days, year-end pushes, capital campaigns, and recurring donor acquisition. Strategy, execution, and reporting from end to end.
Automated welcome sequences, re-engagement flows, lapsed donor recovery, and milestone campaigns that turn first-time givers into lifetime partners.
From scripting to editing, we create the emails, social content, landing pages, and campaign assets your donors see. Hands-on execution, not just ideas.
We run your donor campaigns end to end. Appeals, giving days, year-end pushes, capital campaigns. Strategy to launch to reporting.
Real-time visibility into donor health, retention rates, giving trends, and churn risk. Know exactly where your donor base stands every month.
How It Works
Every partnership follows three phases. We build it, launch it, and run it.
We learn your ministry, audit your systems, and build your entire donor infrastructure from the ground up.
Your systems go live. First campaigns launch. Donor communications begin flowing. Revenue starts moving.
We run your donor relations department month after month. Strategy, campaigns, reporting, and optimization.
Our Approach
We learn your ministry, your mission, your donor profiles, and your goals before we build anything. Every campaign reflects who you are.
We work alongside your marketing and social teams to make this seamless. Not a replacement. An extension that amplifies what you already do.
We work with organizations that have strong digital, social, and television broadcast channels. If you have reach, we help you turn it into recurring revenue.
From scripting to editing to campaign deployment, we do the work. Your team gets results delivered, not a PDF of recommendations to figure out on your own.
No cookie-cutter playbook. We build nurture and direct response campaigns around where you want to be in 12 months and reverse-engineer the path to get there.
"We only work with a select number of ministries at a time so our focus, time, and creativity is fully dedicated to your mission. We don't put you into a marketing funnel with outsourced work. We learn your ministry, build your strategy, and execute it with the same care you would."The My Donor Partner Commitment

The Real Cost
Building In-House
per year
With My Donor Partner
of that investment
Save up to 90% compared to building a team.
Your partnership replaces an entire department: a strategist who architects your donor journey, an operations manager who keeps your CRM clean and your automations running, copywriters who craft appeals that convert, a creative team producing landing pages and video content, campaign specialists managing email, SMS, and digital ads, and a data analyst turning donor behavior into actionable intelligence. One team. One relationship. A fraction of the cost.
Client Results
"Chris jumped in to help us define our mission, create a solid identity and build a plan that worked for our market reach. He understood the difference between marketing a product and getting people to support a cause — and delivered all the way. All of the automations and tools he introduced have allowed us to accomplish more in less time. We are grateful!"
"My Donor Partner helped us convert and deploy our entire digital giving system, creating a streamlined platform that drove a strong increase in recurring donations. When the pandemic hit, we were already fully set up and operating to receive donations from across the globe while other ministries were scrambling to figure it out. That early investment became invaluable and continues to sustain our ministry today."
"After years of searching, Chris understood what our organization needed to grow in the coming years. He provided a customized plan to refresh our online presence and a strategy to reach new potential partners. He kept us involved throughout the process to make sure it was everything we wanted. We could not be more happy with the result."
Why This Is Vital
Churches that depend on Sunday offerings and one-time appeals are watching revenue shrink. Recurring giving is the only model that scales sustainably.
Today's givers support causes through apps, text, and email. If your donor journey isn't digital-first, you're invisible to the next generation of partners.
Pastors and ministry leaders are wearing too many hats. Donor relations, communications, and campaign management need a dedicated team, not another task on someone's desk.
Most ministries have the audience but not the infrastructure. A proper donor engagement system turns existing reach into consistent, predictable revenue.
Acquiring a new donor costs 5-7x more than retaining one. Without a nurture strategy, you're losing partners you already earned.
Vision without funding stalls. The organizations doing the most impactful work are the ones that invested in a system to fund it. That system is what we build.
Our Guarantee
We put our results where our commitment is. Your success is the only metric that matters.

Founder & Lead Strategist
Christopher Pina grew up inside the world of ministry operations and leadership, spending more than 20 years partnering with broadcast television ministries, local churches, and global nonprofits to build systems that actually sustain growth. He has seen firsthand what happens when an organization has the vision but not the infrastructure to fund it, and he made it his life's work to close that gap.
Along the way, Christopher integrated philanthropy into major projects alongside Fortune 500 companies and spent the last five years consulting pastors, executive directors, and organizational leaders on the donor strategies and giving trends that separate thriving ministries from those stuck in survival mode.
That experience led him to build My Donor Partner: a dedicated team of strategists, content creators, and campaign specialists who bring the same caliber of donor relations that major nonprofits rely on, but packaged for the ministries and organizations that need it most. If your mission matters, your donor strategy should match. Christopher and his team make sure it does.
