520 |a In this study, I demonstrate the enduring significance of traditionalist gender ideologies in shaping work experiences within evangelical parachurch organizations. Drawing upon qualitative data from a large sample of evangelical parachurch workers (N = 736), I analyze the fundraising experiences of women and men across marital statuses to assess the ways in which evangelical gender ideologies differentially shape their fundraising endeavors and, ultimately, their employment. Findings reveal that evangelical gender ideologies and gender dynamics embedded within personal fundraising appointments affect the fundraising experiences of parachurch workers in four significant ways: three external, one internal. Externally, single women, relative to men and married women, experience complementarian bias that casts suspicion on their motivations and commitment to the organization; soft-patriarchy in which evangelical males express a desire to provide financially for single women, but often only until they find a husband; and gender dynamics endemic to fundraising appointments that place a unique burden on women fundraisers to be well-planned, appropriate, and cautious. Internally, both married and single women grappled with their own internalized essentialist views that shaped their expectations about their personal fundraising experiences and outcomes.
