In this season when in some places giving is surprisingly stable (or even increasing) and in others where there is great stress and loss – it’s time to get people talking about money in new ways. Bonnie Ives Marden has developed new resources that address the power (or challenges) our personal history and relationship with money have on our lives and giving.

Bonnie Ives Marden, a lay consultant and trainer, empowers congregations and congregational leaders with practical resources and skills for faithful stewardship, leadership and missional impact. She teaches, facilitates and inspires generosity, missional engagement and accountability. With professional skills in process consulting, mediation, trauma healing, and fundraising practices, she offers holistic wisdom, research based best practices and encouragement for your ministry context.
