GIVE TO TENTMAKERS MONTANA
Your fruit grows on other people's trees, too.
Every couple who has come to Tentmakers changed because someone believed in this work. Some of them gave. You are reading this because God may be asking you to be one of those people.
This page is for a specific kind of person.
You have been given resources. Not an accident. God entrusted them to you intentionally, and some part of you knows they are not just for your own comfort or security. You are the kind of person who thinks about return on investment, but the return you care most about is not measured in dollars. It is measured in fruit that lasts (John 15:16).
You have watched ministries burn money without changing anything. You have seen leaders burn out without anyone around them to say the hard thing early enough. You have wondered where you could invest in something that would actually matter, where your generosity would land on good soil and multiply.
You can support the Kingdom by sowing into other individual people who are using their gifts to impact people in ways that you can't. That is what these investments do.
WHO YOUR PARTNERSHIP REACHES
Picture a couple you might know.
He leads something real. A church that is genuinely reaching people. A ministry that is moving. A business built on Kingdom values with a team that believes in something bigger than revenue. He works hard, loves God, and is quietly exhausted in a way he has not said out loud to anyone.
She is holding the family together. She has her own gifts and her own calling and somewhere in the middle of the last three years she stopped having space to think about either. She loves her husband. She loves her kids. She is surviving.
They heard about Tentmakers. They know they need it. They applied. And then they looked at what they could give, and they looked at what was in their account, and they looked at their kids and their mortgage and the season they were in, and they quietly closed the tab.
Your gift brings them to Montana.
Not as charity. As an investment in what God is already doing in them. Brent and Erin sit with them. The Holy Spirit does what He does. They go home with a roadmap and the daily steps to live it. Six months later, the marriage is different. The ministry is different. The wife is walking in something she had buried. The husband is operating in his gifts instead of his obligations.
That is what your money does. Not abstractly. That specifically.
Investments in Tentmakers have exponential ROI. This is an investment in someone else's fruit, their family, their legacy, and everyone their life touches after they leave Montana.
Where it goes.
Tentmakers runs on two things: Brent and Erin’s time, and the generosity of people who believe in this work. There is no large donor base, no institutional funding, no endowment. What comes in goes directly to making engagements possible.
Subsidized Engagements
The most direct use of partner funds. Couples with a clear calling and no roadmap to get there often cannot afford the full investment. Your partnership covers part or all of it and gets them into the room. These are frequently the couples with the highest upside and the least access.
Hospitality and Hosting
The private chef, the lodge, the welcome basket with their favorite things already inside, the wellness tools, the fireside conversations late into the night. None of it is incidental. All of it is the work. It is what makes an engagement transformational instead of transactional.
Operational Continuity
Brent and Erin have personally funded this ministry from the beginning. Partner support lets them keep serving couples at the pace and depth this work requires, without Tentmakers becoming something they build at the expense of their own family. Your gift sustains the sustainability.
Future Capacity
Tentmakers is growing entirely by referral. Partner support builds the infrastructure to serve more couples, develop resources for guests after they leave Montana, and expand the reach of this work without compromising what makes it singular.
You are not a donor.
You are a participant.
There is a kind of generosity the New Testament describes that is not about writing a check to feel good about something. It is about partnership. About two people who built something with their marketplace gifts and then put those resources behind someone else’s mission, trusting that the fruit would come back multiplied in ways they could not manufacture themselves.
That is the model Brent and Erin live by. And it is the model they are inviting you into.
When you give to Tentmakers, you are not donating to an organization. You are partnering with a ministry that has fruit you can read on this site, that operates by referral because the results speak for themselves, and that is doing something no one else is doing for the couples who are building the Kingdom.
The leaders Tentmakers serves reach millions of people. Their marriages and their families and their callings are all downstream of a few days in Montana. Your gift is not at the end of that chain. It is near the beginning of it.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver.”
We are not asking you to give out of obligation. We are asking you to give if God has put this on your heart, you believe in what He is doing here, and because you want your resources to be part of it.
HOW YOU WANT TO PARTNER IS UP TO YOU
Three ways in. All three honored the same.
Give Monthly
The Foundation
A recurring monthly gift makes you a sustained partner in this work. It allows Brent and Erin to plan, serve more couples, and build the infrastructure to expand without compromising what makes Tentmakers singular. Monthly givers are the foundation.
Give Once
One Time Gift
If God is stirring something in your heart, this is the simplest way to respond. This ministry is made possible by a small group of people who believe in the mission and choose to stand behind it.
Fund an Engagement
The Deepest Partnership
The most direct form of partnership. A gift at this level fully or partially subsidizes an engagement for a couple who cannot afford the full investment. You will know specifically that your gift brought someone to Montana who could not have come otherwise. When you give at this level, Brent and Erin will share how the gift was used and the specific impact it made.
Contact Brent and Erin directly to discuss.
Tentmakers is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your gift is tax deductible.
