About Alan Wildes

As a generosity coach, Alan empowers others, bringing knowledge, experience, and motivational skills to help clients achieve their goals. For more than 25 years, he has led over 250 successful generosity initiatives, applying a unique perspective as a layperson and coach.

Alan’s faith has been strengthened through Generis’ approach to fundraising as a spiritual journey. He builds strong personal relationships by investing dedicated time with each client, and many have engaged him for multiple initiatives. His success stems from motivating others to see a generous life as an inspiring, ongoing journey rather than a short-term obligation.

Coaching

Let’s be honest; there are times when one-on-one guidance, encouragement and accountability brings out the best in us and accelerates our ability to chase down those big, audacious dreams. The Generis Coaching experience is designed to align with your greatest needs and is delivered over a period of time that makes the most sense for you.

Campaign

No matter the size of your God-inspired dreams, it can be daunting to think about chasing down the necessary resources. The truth is that while vision almost always exceeds current realities, the means to support your vision is within your grasp. With Generis, you’re not alone. Our customized Campaign approach will help you assess, rethink and reframe your current reality, allowing you to reach your specific goals while also establishing a foundation for increased generosity overall.

Generosity Assessment

When you know something is “off” but you’re not sure what it is or where to start, an Assessment is the perfect solution! You will gain a comprehensive picture of what’s working, what’s struggling and where to focus your efforts.

Operating Budget Campaign

Funding your God-inspired vision requires more than financial acumen. It depends on the continual spiritual growth of your church body. The Operating Budget Campaign approach weaves both together in a seamless and transformational way. How it works: Clearly communicate the vision of the church, teach generosity, and receive Estimates of Giving before setting the following year’s budget. Financial generosity and generosity of time and talents should not be mixed. Open dialogue about money and possessions without apologizing.

Legacy Giving

We help churches thoughtfully prepare for and steward future generosity. We partner with leaders to clarify theology, establish policies and systems, and equip pastors and lay leaders to engage legacy conversations with confidence and care. Through a proven, relational process, we help churches invite participation in planned gifts while honoring each church’s unique culture and vision. The result is a sustainable legacy ministry that strengthens generosity today and secures impact for generations to come.
