Monte Chamberlin founded Cost Stewardship to help faith-based organizations save money and leverage resources so they can focus more funds on their missions and outreach. The document provides tips for religious organizations, including defining their mission and principles, gaining business knowledge and targeting the right audiences, differentiating themselves from competitors, leveraging networks, and enjoying their work. It also discusses potential partnership programs that can provide tax savings, discounted services, and savings of 10-40% on items like natural gas and supplies.
