Ask in Person

• Talk directly with friends, family, or church members about your mission trip. Share why you’re going, what you hope to do, and how they can help. A sincere, personal request is often the most effective way to raise support.

Send a Letter

• Write a short, heartfelt letter (or email) asking for prayers and financial help. Mention your fundraising goal and other ways you’re raising funds, and include a photo or link to your project page.

Share at Church or Groups

• Ask your pastor or group leader if you can give a short presentation about your trip. Show a short BRI video to help people see the mission and inspire them to contribute.

Use Crowdfunding

• Create a page on sites like GoFundMe or GiveSendGo. Share your goal, photos, and story so people can easily donate online. Let BRI know if you’re using one of these platforms.

Host a Sale

• Hold a bake sale, lunch stand, or yard sale. Let people know all proceeds support your mission trip.

Use Your Skills

• Turn your talents into fundraising opportunities—offer car washes, tutoring, photography, yard work, babysitting, or lessons in exchange for donations..
