8. Hope Academy Development Focus
Ministry vs. Money
Our job is to love our Partners, helping them to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus, discern between worldly thinking and Godly thinking, and become joy-filled givers who are rich toward God.
Abundance vs. Scarcity
Instead of competing with other ministries for scarce resources, we see through the lens of faith, co-laboring with other ministries, and rejoicing when our Partners give to other ministries.
Eternal Rewards vs. Earthly Treasures
We help our Partners see the surpassing riches that are being laid up for believers in the age to come, and the vital link between giving and faith.

9. Hope Academy Development Focus, cont.
Solutions vs. Needs
Hope Academy provides a proven solution to the problem of inner city education. We don’t have needs, we have solutions.
Sustainable vs. Sporadic
We strive facilitate sustainable funding by linking Partners to the long-term mission and vision of Hope, and by tangibly connecting them with this mission through Partnership with a student.
Team vs. Talent
Sustaining and growing our charitable support is a team effort, drawing upon the talents of several people versus a few talented people doing everything.

10. Development Team In Practice
Warm Tours vs. Cold Calls
We invite others to experience Hope Academy during a one- hour monthly experience called Tour of Hope.
Invite vs. Cajole
We follow up with tour attendees by asking “Do you see yourself getting involved in an particular way?”, and then engaging them as they’ve requested.
Partners vs. Events
Since the vast majority of our families have a financial need, we seek sponsorship Partners for each student, and a handful of larger supporters to help fill the gap.
Meaningful Contacts vs. Bulk-Rate Mailings
We purpose to make 2-3 personal contacts with each Partner during the year.

11. Development Team In Practice, cont.
Master vs. Methods
While we follow a defined Development process of planting and cultivating, we trust the Master for the growth, not the methods.
Stories vs. Programs
Believing that programs don’t help people, but that people help people, our best messaging involves stories about those people.
Dependence on Him vs. Dependence on Them
We strive to express appropriate, timely, and frequent gratefulness for the financial gifts of our Partners and supporters, mindfully pointing to the ultimate provider of every good and perfect gift.
