Under Tony's leadership, I was empowered and learned what it looked like to walk in faith and obedience to God in what he called me. As a result, the fruit was more than I can imagine.”

“In 4 months, through Funding Tribe I was fully funded, my vision increased, and my perspective on support raising changed.”
“The one-on-one coaching really helped pushed me to do things I wouldn't have been motivated to do in my own strength. As someone who has been raising support, partnerships, and funding for our ministry for over 10 years, this 45-day challenge fine-tuned my skills, gave me new skills, and created the kind of environment I think is most conducive for raising a funding tribe. I'd highly recommend Funding Tribe to help you reach your goals!”

"Tony Dentman’s coaching for my ministry fundraising took me to another level. He pushed me from being average to great, lukewarm to on fire, and from underfunded to fully-funded for the last three years. Overall, he pushed me to have big faith in God through the ups and down."

The Funding Tribe - led by Tony Dentman - helped me reach my goals and live out my vision by teaching me the meaning of faithfulness, focus, and fortitude in my process of accessing capital. Being coached by Tony helped me gain over $75,000+ in support assets. I highly recommend Tony if you're looking to grow professionally while being coached to reach your fundraising goals.

"Funding Tribe was helpful with my consistency and persistence in fundraising. I am confident that the skills I learned during my training time will help me in any future fundraising endeavors.
I really appreciated the spirit of the 45-Day Challenge. One that had God's word at the center, not just at the beginning but daily throughout the challenge. I was reminded of who I was and that God desired to use me for His glory. It was super encouraging. I also loved the built-in accountability and the opportunity to complete tasks and feel accomplished for the day."

“I'm forever grateful for the Funding Tribe Foundation! The Foundation was a catalyst for my fundraising process; I received outstanding coaching and encouragement from Funding Tribe. Before working with Funding Tribe, I couldn't find a suitable method to raise funds consistently; therefore, I always felt stuck. Moreover, Funding Tribe didn't only help me raise funds, but the Team also pointed me back to my need for Jesus and how he will always provide for our needs (Philippians 4:19).”

”Starting the process and now looking back I have realized that it is the kind of push and encouragement that I definitely need. I'm glad I went through this training! Praise God for what He has taught me during the training.”
Chase Walker
SIUE Campus Director - Campus Outreach St. Louis
“This was just what I needed. I’ve been raising funds for our ministry for 6+ years, but Funding Tribe’s high accountability and clear direction removed a lot of unnecessary confusion and bad habits from my fundraising. As a result, I was able to raise more funds in 3 months than I had in the past 3 years. Highly recommended, even for veteran fundraisers.”
Emily Walters
Campus Staff - Campus Outreach Charlotte
“Before working with Funding Tribe I had no clue how I was going to raise my support for my job. With the help of April, Tony and Melissa they were able to help me achieve my goal and even more. They cared for me in my support-raising process and even in my personal struggles. The one-on-one instruction by April helped me to know what I should be doing every step of the process and the push and encouragement from Tony helped me to stay on track and trust God to raise my support! I grew not only as a person but in my relationship with God in the months I worked with the Funding Tribe. I'll always be thankful for them helping me and so many others!”

“Funding Tribe is the best to do it, hands down! Tony, Melissa, and April give you not only an abundance of resources for you to succeed practically, but they also give you their time. They genuinely seek for you to be 100% funded and prepared for sharing Christ with the lost world. I came into their program a skeptic and left as a huge fan. They challenged us and helped my wife and me get supported in a matter of a couple of months. Highly recommend this organization if you are raising support, not only will your support grow but your love for Christ will grow as well.”
Garret Taylor
Campus Staff - Tennessee Tech UniversityCampus Outreach Memphis
“Coming into support raising, I was a bit clueless about what I was getting into. Funding Tribe presented an effective, thorough, and biblical foundation for support raising. From day one, Tony and April committed themselves not only to helping me get funded but also committed themselves to me. Support raising is a confusing, difficult, yet sanctifying and character-building time where we get the privilege to dive deeper into our relationships with God. Funding Tribe really has the set up too; they provide multiple spreadsheet templates, resources, intentional coaching, a schedule to walk by, and so much more. It is extremely practical! When you come to Funding Tribe, be prepared to work hard, trust God, get out of your comfort zone, grow in character, and be fully funded quickly. They helped me get fully funded in 6 weeks! I don't know where I would be at in the support raising process without Funding Tribe - there is nothing else I would recommend for support raising other than Funding Tribe.”
Hannah Williamson
Campus Staff - Campus Outreach Charlotte
“I am so grateful for The Funding Tribe Team— I don’t quite know where I’d be in my support raising process without them. They give you the resources and knowledge you need to be able to walk confidently in the support raising season. They also help you think through support raising in a biblical way!”

“I was fully funded in less than 1 semester! As someone who is raising full-time support to see God change lives, I can testify that God is working through the Funding Tribe to help us get on the mission field as fast as possible! (Even as a full-time college student with a job!)
Tony, April, and Melissa did an amazing job of keeping our focus on God’s power in providing our support while providing the accountability to stay faithful in letting God work through us! I looked forward to seeing my friends that I was raising each week in our cohort meetings and being encouraged as we saw God provide all of our support!
My wife and I can’t wait to be ministering on the college campus this fall, and I’m thankful for God’s work through Funding Tribe for getting me there so efficiently!”
