Here’s some advice from Church Giving Matters for churches encouraging their people to give. It applies well to other fundraising: 3 do’s and don’ts when preaching on giving.
I especially want to point out the don’ts:
- Don’t apologize for talking about money.
- Don’t believe that people will just give.
- Don’t forget to connect money to impact and life change.
These common errors hurt fundraising in church and anywhere else they happen.
