Abstract	This study was conducted by carrying out in-depth interviews with Bible Society of Kenya General Secretary and senior staff (respondents). The study intended to document the Bible Society of Kenya’s plans and activities in resource mobilization, the sustainability of that resource mobilization and also establish the factors that led to the Society’s decision to mobilize resources locally. Historically, not for profit organizations have relied on funds from the developed countries, mainly Europe and United States of America. However changes in the external environment, both within the country and globally caused a reduction in the availability of resources. Given that most of those served by the not for profit organizations have always viewed themselves as recipients of donor funds and not as donors to organizations serving them, the researcher set out to document the resource mobilization activities the Society carried out and to establish the factors that led to the Society’s decision to mobilize resources. The study has established that the Society has a strategy for resource mobilization that includes both generation of income from sale of scriptures as well as carrying out fundraising activities in churches and among individuals. Income from scripture sales has been done through concentration on those scripture products that can be sold at slightly higher prices than cost. Fundraising has been done through holding fundraising dinners as well as direct appeals for funds from supporters in churches and among individuals.
