The CMN Creative Funding Forum is a place to explore models for non-traditional funding sources for launching and supporting ministry. Topics to explore will be for-profit ventures that support ministry, grant writing, donor development and much more. This two-day event will take place in Washington, DC on July 7th & 8th.

What’s so unique about this event?
