Bottom Line... Mike knows how to inspire your audience to give you both a monthly partnership AND a sizeable one-time gift. He knows how to do it with class and respect. It is his specialty. This success is why his clients use him repeatedly and then moved to the speakers he has trained. Since his first appearance at Focus On The Family in 2001, Mike has been the most re-booked PRC fundraising speaker in America. His 800+ fundraisers and his multi-Million dollar records still stand. When you need to raise money, this generosity catalyst is your best choice.
Mike will work closely with you all the way if you desire to double or triple your last year's amount. His 21 Steps To Fundraising Banquet Success is a must-read guide for anyone preparing to multiply their previous success. Some may want to read his books, How To Fearlessly & Successfully Ask For Money, Thank You For Saving My Life, and his co-authored Becoming A Profitable Non-Profit.
Mike is not a novice to the online world. In addition to his fundraising work for pro-life organizations, he is a skilled online presenter. Mike is responsible for the online fundraising for a third world mission that helped start two pregnancy centers. Mike is not a mercenary; he is on the pro-life team. He raises thousands of dollars a week for that mission... all of it through online connections. His Full Sail University A/V Education and his PIXAR experience set him up to be the best online storyteller for your organization.
Mike will write your script, edit your client testimonies, create a special closing specific to your organization, compile, and produce your entire video.
One simple low price makes it all happen. Don't pay an additional percentage of what you receive, which is a violation of the ECFA (Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability) standards. You shouldn't break those rules with a speaker, don't do it with a video producer.
Before you hire a local video guy, consider using someone with years of successful experience. Mike was producing profitable online events long before COVID made them the new rage.
Additionally, Mike will be glad to provide you with a guide to successful DO IT YOURSELF online virtual banquets upon request. We can send you links to over thirty online events from 2020.
In these days of social distancing fear, Mike is prepared to both inspire your live event and produce your virtual banquet for one low cost. To help centers amid COVID 19, Mike provides a free online event production (as listed above) for those who schedule him for a live event.
Statistically, live events produce higher dollars per person than online events. However, online events can reach twenty times more people. Use this social distancing time to generate new partners and prepare your center for a windfall when it is over. Work smart!
Online events can be a good as the time your staff puts into looking good and speaking clearly.
A merry heart works like good medicine. God loves a cheerful, hilarious giver. Your adversary is about abortion. A successful fundraiser is based on genuine life-saving, not on the significant numbers of the enemy!
The reason that speakers like Dr. James Dobson, Kirk Walden, Marc Newman, Eric Metaxes, and Mike are so funny when they speak is purposeful. Your event is not about the stats of the abortion advocates! Your event is about lives being saved. People want to join and support a winning team, and they want to enjoy doing it. Laughter opens the heart for a powerful message. It also allows people to trust bringing friends to your event. No matter what your cause, your message needs to be the celebration of your victory!
Mike is a GMA Dove Award winner who knows how to help you increase your revenue significantly. His client list has ranged from organizations like Focus on the Family to hundreds of pregnancy centers across America. He has presented on the mainstage at Heartbeat and Care Net multiple times and led more than fourteen donor development workshops for them. Mike has logged 4 million air miles doing that.
Men enjoy his style and often know his voice from hearing him on SiriusXM radio. Male involvement increases the donation structure by 300%. When Mike leads your group to sing happy birthday to the children they have rescued, men will have their eyes fill with tears of joy! When Mike gives that appeal, you will know why he is among the best in the business.
Mike will personally visit every table at your event to thank each person for their attendance. You might find it hard to get a board member that committed to your success.
The humorous way Mike tells his very moving personal rescue-adoption story, and the story of how he and his wife rescue-adopted their own son from a similar situation will inspire your audience. The compelling way he weaves your organization's story all through the presentation will open checkbooks. Laughing people give more than crying people! It is just a fact.
Mike comes from a tragic inner-city home where neither of his brothers lived to see 18. His sisters became the victims of that lifestyle as well. Mike never met his birth father until he was 27 years old. Tragedy becomes triumph as Mike was rescued by some people who had prayed for a child for 12 years. Mike's is an amazingly impactful and funny story of redemption and rescue. You will laugh, and you will cry. Then... when Mike tells the details of Mike and his wife rescue-adopting their first child, you will be inspired with generosity. Continuing, Mike will share the great success story of the Center that rescued the birth mom along the journey. Mike is a master storyteller who knows how to close with a call to generous action. This is the kind of story that touches hearts and opens wallets for your ministry.
Boards hire Executive Directors thinking that an E.D. will raise the money needed to operate the center. People become Executive Directors so they can save lives and work with women, believing the board is passionate about fundraising for the organization. This misunderstanding is a recipe for inadequate funding and closet animosity. Simple PRC Board Success Workshop is all about teaching the Boards and the Executive Director how to partner together. This workshop is designed to improve the center's income by 40% and increase the number of Abortion Minded clients by 100%. Mike does this as a live 4-hour workshop, or you may view it online at your convenience at www.FOOTBASS.com.
Although Mike has quite a resumé, he knows how to make you the star of your event. He does that with dignity and respect. You will be the one who receives the accolades for the event's success.
Mike goes the extra mile in providing personal cell phone support all along the banquet preparation process. With Mike, you always get a little more than just a speaker.

SCHEDULE MIKE TODAY
615-370-4700 xt 235
"We raised $100,000 more than in previous years. Thanks Mike!" -Rachel Nguyen
"Mike did a fantastic job. His flight was delayed due to severe weather on the east coast and he didn’t miss a beat. He got in “late” but it didn’t deter him from his mission and message. I did not worry or stress because he had it all under control. The guest feedback was all positive. Everyone truly enjoyed Mike."
-Kim Andrews, CareNet, Thurston County
"Mike has an ability to hone in on what will cause his audience to respond. He reads the crowd before delivering exactly what is necessary to motivate them to give. In his first two years as our speaker, we experienced back-to-back record-breaking banquets. This year, Mike once again helped us to break our latest fundraising record. The money raised was all the more impressive because of how quickly Mike altered his set to meet the potential donors' moods. After our CEO delivered a challenging, sobering, and inspiring address, Mike realized the need to keep the crowd keyed into what they had just heard. He reinforced some of the points and peppered in jokes— enough to live up to his accolades without lightening the mood to distraction. If you book Mike Williams as your speaker, then you are guaranteed a veteran comedian with the skill and talent necessary to highlight your best efforts, smooth over missteps, and deliver an appeal that will have donors eager for an opportunity to give."
-Delaney Walker, New Hope PCC
"Mike also came and did a Board training for us. He made us think "outside the box." We recently had a Board meeting and each board member there thought the time spent with Mike was very profitable. This was our largest attended banquet and the largest amount raised to date. Overwhelmingly, our guests asked for us to have Mike back next year."
-Cindy Roberts, Life Options Clinic
"Mike was fantastic. We struggled to get guests committed to coming, and to some degree, getting the right guests to the event. We love Mike. He is amazing and effective and such a value-added speaker, making really practical suggestions and giving great encouragement."
-Martha Sitzler, Hope PRC
"Thanks again for a wonderful night! Laff-4-Life was a great night of laughs, fellowship and support for First Step Pregnancy Clinic! People have commented to me that "they never laughed so hard in their life!"; "they laughed until they cried!"; and "Mike did such an amazing job transitioning from jokes to the serious side of support for the ministry. Well done!"
-David Wilkinson, First Step PC
"He knocked it out of the park for us! I know he was absolutely exhausted, but he still made time to come by our center and spend good time with the staff; as well as listened and asked questions so that he was very familiar with our ministry before he spoke that night. last year we raised $103,000 and that was the most ever before this year. Our goal for this year was $126,000 and I was concerned about not getting that much! At Mike’s advise, I tweaked the appeal card to his suggestions, and combined with his appeal, it worked!!!!! We are blown away by God’s provision!"
-Victoria Miglin, PRC Statesville
"He's such a reliable and professional speaker. A pleasure to work with! We were pleased with our fundraising results, since this was our first year! -Jennifer Shaw, SFC, South GA
We have raised about the same on monthly giving but the upfront one time donation was definitely up. Our goal was $100,000.00 for the night and we exceeded that."
-Michelle Plott, PRC Henry County
"It was an honor to have you speak at PCC's 6th Annual Fundraising Banquet. With your help, we were able to raise more than $195,000 in pledges and gifts!" -Cindi Boston CEO PCC Springfield, MO (This was the first year Mike did the banquet. The second year Mike did the banquet the event went over $330,000)
"I appreciate your wisdom in asking us to allow you the responsibility of making that appeal on our behalf. I especially appreciated the quiet time of prayer - you could hear a pin drop. We were able to raise $186,000 for the center. Again, thank you for partnering with us and helping this ministry to continue to make a difference in the lives of so many in our community." -David Misner Director /Hope Center PRC Fort Wayne, IN
"We want to let you know that we had a wonderful time with Mike. I have NEVER had a complaint about Mike even after hosting him four times. Everyone was absolutely wonderful to work with, thank you for all you have done. Mike increased our monthly pledges this year 50%." -Dawn Theil, Director, Garden City, KS
"My husband hates to come to these... as he calls them "women's events" no matter who the speaker is. I was able to convince him to come because he knew Mike Williams as the guy he laughs at on SiriusXM radio. He came and was blown away. He even asked me to write an extra good check out to the organization." -Gloria, Franklin, TN
“I wanted to let you know that Mike Williams was a great success. We tripled our donations from last year! I have heard nothing but wonderful comments from the community on what a tremendous performance he gave.” -Director, Life Choices
“We were especially pleased to receive so much positive feedback from the men, who are usually harder to please than the ladies that attend. One -time giving was up about 75%. New commitments went up 500%...” -PRC,Bakerfield, CA
I can’t thank you enough for speaking at the banquet, and more specifically, supporting the name change and talking about it throughout the evening. We brought in 50 NEW monthly supporters at the banquet. -Andrea Riggs / Tri-Cities Pregnancy Network
We are all set to bring you for the third year in a row .
-Donna Jensen / ED / Grace House PRC, DeLand, FL
“Financially tripled! Nothing but positive comments.”

PRC $$$ AVERAGES
100 people (ages 30 - 60) X $430.00 = $43,000.00. DO THE MATH... If you are not receiving $430.00 X Guests (between the ages of 30 and 60) you are not reaching your potential. The stats don't lie. You must stop believing that you are the only center in America that cannot reach potential. We have helped many whose manta had been, "Our Supporters Never Give Well" to find out they could be success stories if they prepared and delivered properly.
