Tom Melzoni

Tom Melzoni believes “giving is what God wants for you, not from you” and “the need of the individual to give is greater than the church’s need to receive.” Known for his creativity in motivating and inspiring others, Tom has worked with more than 300 clients, including colleges, camps, Salvation Army Corps, schools, and churches of every size and denomination.

He is one of a select group of persons in this space to raise more than $2 billion dollars. Tom is active in his local church and serves on the boards of Columbine Redemption, a ministry born out of the tragedy of Columbine High School, the Melzoni Foundation, a family foundation dedicated to helping ministerial students achieve their educational goals, and the advisory boards of Criswell College and The Clear Creek College.

Tom earned his PhD from Columbia University, a master’s from Southern Seminary in Louisville, and a bachelor’s from Wright State University. He was granted a DD from the California Graduate School of Theology, Clear Creek Bible College in Pineville, KY, and Newburgh Seminary in Newburgh, Indiana.
