The goal of The Maker Institute is to make an education with us 100% free, but until that prayer is a reality, we are pleased to partner with you to help reduce your personal cost of attendance by as much as possible. As members of the family of God, we are called into the larger community of Christ including our family, friends, co-workers, local church, and more. This community is where we are called to live a purposeful life, using our gifts to the glory of God and the flourishing of society. Because of this specific planting, this personal community is your primary network for support whether it be personally, professionally, or financially.

The Fundraising Process
01. Plan
Even as artists and designers, we are slow to harness our creativity to solve every day problems. While your time at the Maker Institute may be about your education, everyone in your community will benefit from your deepened faith and increased confidence to champion Christ in all things. For this reason we believe your immediate community can be the most helpful in supporting you during your time with the Maker Institute both through prayer and financial support.
02. Pray
There is nothing we can do in our own strength. Scripture tells us this, and our lives affirm it every day. This is no different. We are praying for our students, both current and future, and their financial health is extremely important to us. Devote time and energy to praying for who the Lord may lead you to ask to be a partner in your education. Pray for opportunities that might arise to make loans or tough financial times unnecessary. Pray for God to give you wisdom as you pursue your time at the Maker Institute.
03. Ask
The work has been done; so just ask! It may seem harder than that, but we are told that we do not have because we do not ask. Also, it is the pleasure of God’s church to support one another in the work we have been called to. While you may feel awkward about asking about money, we should not feel awkward about asking for support as we pursue our callings. Trust in God is active obedience, and asking others to partner with you on this journey is a strong way to proceed in faith and see what God might do.
