On a recent survey, over 90% of missionaries we asked said they did NOT know any fully funded missionaries. Well, we're here to change that! Meet Nora McNamara, a seasoned missionary who went from raising $34 in a month to getting fully funded just six months later – and has stayed fully funded now for YEARS.

This conversation, originally held for our Fully Funded Academy members, highlights Nora's transformative strategies and insights into missionary fundraising.

If you're struggling with raising support or feel alone in your financial challenges, this episode is tailored for you.

After years of coaching missionaries one-on-one, Mary Valloni and Mike Kim are bringing the Fully Funded experience into the room. This is a two-day, hands-on conference designed for missionaries, ministry leaders, and sending organizations who are ready to stop guessing and start building a real support-raising strategy.

September 21–22, 2026
Plano, TX

This is NOT your typical nonprofit conference. You won't just sit and listen. You'll walk in with your challenges and walk out with a complete 90-day action plan: scripts written, strategy built, momentum created.

The world of donor giving has changed. Communication has changed. If your support-raising playbook is more than a few years old, it's time for an upgrade. We're doing that work, together, in the room.
