Your best way to increase your congregation's annual giving is to develop and implement a year-round Stewardship Ministry Program. It can be inspiring and present fresh approaches for growing in giving. Success of the program is attributed to the fact that it is focused on the Christian's response to God's grace in supporting the ministries of the Church rather than fund raising for the budget.
Through the Foundation's consulting services, it provides a Stewardship Ministry Program that has proven results of growing annual giving. When carried out properly, churches experience a first-year average giving increase of 25% and subsequent-year increases have varied from 10% to 15%, reflecting growing faith and commitment. An added benefit is that establishing a firm foundation of generous annual giving is the best preparation for a future capital funds campaign or endowment campaign.
Fees for the program are based on membership size of the church and the scope of services required. For more information, go to FAQs annual giving or contact the Foundation.
