Sustainability, Funding, and Future Growth of FHLM International
One of the key priorities for FHLM International is ensuring that our mission and initiatives are financially sustainable. As a non-profit company (NPC), we are committed to responsible financial stewardship, transparency, and ethical leadership.
In this section, we will explore our financial strategy, plans for long-term sustainability, and how we intend to secure funding and partnerships to support our mission.
1. Developing Financial Sustainability Models
FHLM International is committed to ensuring that our educational and ministry initiatives are self-sustaining. While we will actively pursue donations and grant opportunities, we also recognise the importance of creating long-term revenue streams that allow us to grow without relying solely on external funding.
Our approach to financial sustainability includes:
- Offering premium courses and certifications through FHLM Equip – While many of our educational resources will be offered freely, we will also develop structured learning programmes, certifications, and leadership training courses with a modest fee to help sustain FHLM’s operations.
- Seeking sponsorships for student scholarships – We aim to provide sponsored access for individuals who cannot afford training but wish to engage in Christian leadership development.
- Developing a donation-based funding model – Supporters will have the option to donate to specific programmes, ensuring their contributions directly support training, mentorship, and ministry initiatives.
- Creating ministry resource packages for churches – FHLM Equip will provide customisable training resources that churches and organisations can license and use for their own leadership development.
These strategies will allow FHLM International to operate efficiently and sustainably, ensuring that our educational and ministry programmes continue to thrive.
