PORTLAND, OR / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2026 / Mission Increase and the Stoller Foundation announced a partnership to expand access to fundraising and organizational health training for Stoller grantees through Mi Academy, reflecting the platform's growing adoption among organizations seeking proven training that strengthens nonprofit leaders and accelerates Kingdom impact.
Mi Academy is an online platform that offers training in eight specialties, including fundraising, leadership, communications, and organizational culture, equipping leaders with practical tools for immediate application. Mi Advisor, a built-in artificial intelligence assistant, provides coaching throughout the learning process and helps bridge the gap between training and real-world execution with tools such as fundraising planning and donor communications.
This partnership demonstrates how foundations can extend their impact beyond grantmaking by investing in the long-term viability of the nonprofits they support. By providing access to Mi Academy, the Stoller Foundation helps grantees improve fundraising practices and increase organizational sustainability.
"The Stoller Foundation's vision for equipping nonprofits for long-term success exemplifies the kind of innovative approach that can strengthen organizations and accelerate Kingdom impact," said Geoff Rogers, chief growth officer of Mission Increase. "We are excited to see foundations embracing Mi Academy as a trusted resource for practical training and support."
"Our goal is not only to fund important work, but also to provide new avenues of growth for all of our grantees," said Roderick Graves, senior training manager at Stoller Foundation. "We chose Mi Academy because it provides the kind of training and support that strengthens organizations for long-term success, which ultimately transforms the communities around them."
In addition to Mi Academy, Stoller grantees who are within driving distance of local area directors will be informed of the availability of Mi Core, which provides in-person guidance and peer learning opportunities to help develop effective fundraising strategies and increase impact.
