What is Recharge Refresh Renew?

Recharge Refresh Renew is a biannual development training seminar that The Timothy Group hosts here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Typically, we host one seminar in the spring and one seminar in the fall.
Where did we get the name for this event? We call it Recharge Refresh Renew because the idea for this seminar is, whether you have been in the development/fundraising world for 30 seconds or 30 years, we want you leaving feeling recharged and equipped with the tools and the confidence to reach your fundraising goals.

What to Expect

Times of fellowship, networking, and growth are expected during Recharge Refresh Renew. We are unique that we teach fundraising principles through a Christian worldview. We start every seminar with a session called “The Biblical Basis of Asking”, which is about three separate occasions in the Bible where the principles of fundraising are applied.
We schedule time for our attendees to attend “onsite visits” here in Grand Rapids with organizations we have worked with. We have taken attendees to places such as Potter’s House, South Christian High School, Cornerstone University, Mel Trotter Ministries, and many more places.

The Timothy Group takes our guests offsite to a wonderful dinner at one of our personal favorite restaurants here in Grand Rapids for an evening of networking with other individuals from all over the country, talking about their similarities and differences between their ministries.
Recharge Refresh Renew starts at 8 AM each day and ends at 3 PM on the second day. Here is the agenda from one of our previous Seminars. Because all trainings are catered to the ministries in attendance, topics and times are subject to change.

Winning with Major Donors

Raise more money, find more donors, and grow your nonprofit’s impact. In just one day, our Winning with Major Gifts seminar will give you the tools you need to secure transformational gifts and build lasting donor relationships.
You’ll learn how to identify and cultivate major donors, ask with confidence, and expand your base of support so your mission thrives.
Join us Tuesday, February 10, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Orlando Int’l Drive/Convention Center. Tickets are on sale for $165 for limited time!

Find More Donors. Raise More Money.

If you’ve ever wondered how to connect with high-capacity donors, how to make the ask without fear, or how to grow your nonprofit’s support base, you’re not alone. Many leaders feel underprepared when it comes to securing large gifts that can transform their mission.
That’s why we created Winning with Major Gifts—an information-packed, one-day seminar designed to give you practical tools you can put to work immediately.

Who Should Attend

Executive Directors, Development Directors, Major Gift Officers, board members, or anyone who wants to raise more money for their nonprofit. Whether you’re new to fundraising or looking to sharpen your skills, this day will meet you where you are and move you forward.

What You’ll Learn

In this hands-on training, you’ll discover how to:

Identify and cultivate new major donors — no matter the size of your current database.
Ask boldly with confidence and clarity — without feeling awkward or “salesy.”
Grow your base of support and gain momentum — so you’re not dependent on just a few donors.
Secure the resources your mission deserves — and stop leaving money on the table.

Why This Event is Different

Practical, not theoretical. You’ll leave with a proven roadmap you can use the very next day.
Affordable investment. For only $165, you’ll gain insights that can help secure gifts worth thousands—even millions—of dollars.
One day, lasting impact. Just seven hours could change the trajectory of your fundraising for years to come.
Proven track record. For over 35 years, The Timothy Group has helped churches, ministries, and nonprofits raise billions to advance the Kingdom.
