In partnership with Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, the
McCormick Theological Seminary has embarked upon
a new comprehensive training program – the Executive
Certificate in Religious Fundraising. The course will be
held June 1-4, 2015, at McCormick Theological Seminary.
Religious leaders in faith-based organizations and
institutions who wish to learn more about the spirituality
of fundraising and gain a core foundation in fundraising
principles are invited to register.
The purpose of the ECRF is simple – to provide clergy
with expertise in fundraising principles and practices and
to train development personnel who serve faith-based
organizations.
There is no intentional fundraising training program
that focuses exclusively on the needs, challenges and
opportunities of people serving religious congregations.
ECRF offers a balanced exploration of congregational
cultures, generosity and the fundamentals of fundraising.
The ECRF program introduces Presbyterian and other
faith-based fundraisers to additional and advanced
training resources, addressing the continuing education
needs of clergy and other leaders who aspire to make a
difference.
This new opportunity is intended to strengthen pastoral
leadership in resource development. Participants will learn
core fundraising principles and explore the rituals and
practices that foster generosity, with the educational and
theological rigor that addresses the needs of faith leaders.

to helping people of faith think creatively and reflectively
on the relationship between their religion and their
philanthropy.

For more than 10 years, the Institute has offered a place
where clergy and laity of all faiths can openly discuss issues
of money, faith and giving; donors can discern how their
personal values influence their philanthropic action; and
academicians can study the intersection of faith and giving.
The Institute translates research findings into practical
training for practitioners and parishes.

tradition that integrates scholarship and ecumism with an
