Ep. 217: Understanding Evangelical Mid Level Donors

Here at MinistryWatch we bring you news about Christian ministries, as well as the latest in charity and philanthropy, news that we examine from a Christian worldview perspective.  Our goal is to help us become better stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. These mid-week “Extra” episodes are a chance for us to go deep with a particular topic, and today I’m pleased to have back on the program Ron Sellers, the president of Grey Matter Research and Consulting.   Ron Sellers and I discuss a new study his organization has done in conjunction with Infinity Concepts.  That study is called “Understanding Evangelical Mid Level Donors.” Before we jump into that interview, I just want to note that you can get a copy of this nearly 70-plus-page report here: https://greymatterresearch.com/articles-studies/ Before we go:  A few quick notes. First, regular listeners to the podcast know that this is not the first time Ron Sellers has been on the program.  If you are a ministry leader, and you’re new to the program, you might want to give a listen to some of his previous appearances on the program.  His research provides insights into evangelical giving patterns that are helpful. Just go to the MinistryWatch website and type Ron Sellers into the search engine. I also want to remind you that MinistryWatch is donor supported.  We take no money from ministries, from advertising.  There’s no paywall.  All of our content is free.  Our donors are the real heroes of this story.  If you would like to become a part of that heroic group, please visit us at MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate button at the top of the page. If money is a little tight now, you can still help the program.  Just rate us on your podcast app.  The more ratings we get, the higher we rank with search engines, and that means other people can find us more easily.  Rating us just takes a second, and it doesn’t cost you a dime.  It’s a free and easy – and important – way you can support the MinistryWatch podcast. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Emily Kern, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. I’m Warren Smith, and – until next time – May God bless you.
