Missionary Support-Raising Training, Coaching & Consulting
Equip your missionaries to raise support and your organization to sustain them.
M10 Ministries helps missionary organizations prepare, train, and accompany missionaries through personal fundraising. We combine firsthand missionary experience with professional fundraising expertise to help missionaries build lasting partnerships and organizations develop stronger, more sustainable support-raising programs.
A comprehensive approach
Missionaries are not meant to raise support in isolation.
When a missionary struggles to raise support, it is easy to assume they need more confidence, more contacts, or more discipline. But missionaries do not raise support in isolation. Their progress is also shaped by the training, expectations, accountability, and guidance surrounding them.
M10 works with missionaries and the organizations sending them. We equip missionaries to raise support effectively while helping leaders build the systems needed to guide them well.
The Problem
A workshop alone cannot carry a missionary to full support.
Your missionaries may leave training with a workbook, a script, and good intentions. Then the calls go unanswered, appointments slow down, confidence fades, and leadership is left trying to determine what went wrong.
Without consistent guidance and a clear organizational process:
- Missionaries lose momentum and confidence.
- Supervisors inherit ongoing fundraising problems.
- Expectations vary between missionaries and departments.
- Underfunding follows missionaries into the field.
- Delayed launches disrupt organizational plans.
- Long-term ministry stability becomes harder to sustain.
How M10 helps
Support for the missionary and the organization behind them.
Built by a former missionary with more than a decade of professional fundraising experience, M10 combines firsthand support raising experience with proven fundraising strategy. From preparing missionaries to raise support, to coaching them through the process, to strengthening the systems behind them, M10 supports both the missionary and the organization sending them.

The meaning behind our name
Support raising is part of the sending.
In Matthew 10, Jesus sends the Twelve to proclaim the Kingdom. They are instructed to depend upon the generosity of those they are sent to serve because “the laborer deserves his keep.”
This passage gives M10 Ministries both its name and its conviction.
Support raising is not merely a financial obstacle missionaries must overcome before ministry begins. It is an invitation for others to participate in the mission. When missionaries ask people to pray, give, and walk alongside them, they are building a community of partners who share in the work.
M10 helps missionaries understand that calling and gives them the practical tools to live it well.
The meaning behind our name
Support raising is part of the sending.
Many support-raising programs are built from the experience of missionaries who successfully raised their own support. That experience matters, and M10 has it too.
But personal experience is only one part of effective fundraising.
M10 also brings more than a decade of professional experience across major gifts, recurring giving, development strategy, capital campaigns, and consulting. We apply that knowledge to the practical realities missionaries encounter, from building a prospect list and making the first phone call to responding when progress stalls.
We understand missionaries.
M10 was founded by a former missionary who raised personal support and understands the spiritual, emotional, and practical challenges involved.
We understand fundraising.
Our approach is informed by professional fundraising principles, donor development, recurring giving, relationship cultivation, and current nonprofit practice.
We understand missionary organizations.
We help leaders evaluate and improve the systems surrounding their missionaries, not just the techniques taught to them.
We stay involved.
Training establishes the foundation. Ongoing coaching provides the accountability and adaptation missionaries need as they apply it.
We are authentically Catholic and ready to serve the wider Church.
Catholic theology shapes how we understand generosity, vocation, stewardship, and the dignity of asking. We bring that foundation to Catholic organizations and other Christian missionary communities alike.
Build a stronger support-raising program for the people you send.
Whether you are preparing your first missionary or leading an established sending organization, M10 can help you identify what is working, where missionaries are getting stuck, and what kind of support would make the greatest difference.
