In this episode of The Donor Centric Approach, I sit down with Matt Aujero, founder of Fight Club Catholic, for a candid and energizing conversation about building a movement from scratch.
We talk about what it’s really like to lead as a founder—when you’re fundraising, vision-casting, discipling, and doing the setup and takedown every week. Matt shares what’s working for Fight Club, how they’ve grown their reach and community without compromising their core identity, and what he’s learning about building trust with donors from the ground up.
This one’s for every leader who’s building something bold and beautiful—without a blueprint.
In this episode:
The importance of showing up before scaling up
When to move from grassroots to growth mode
Why clarity of identity attracts the right donors
How personal formation drives sustainable mission
Lessons from Matt’s experience as a ministry founder
This conversation is packed with insights, especially if you’re in the trenches of launching or growing your mission.
