Churches, nonprofits and communities benefit when members learn how to become consistent, generous givers.
“If it is truly more blessed to give than to receive, we deprive our members and community if we fail to champion the art of generous giving.”
Churches and charitable nonprofits have a paradoxical relationship with fund-raising and stewardship. Often, they desperately need resources. But they either don’t know how to ask for money or aren’t willing to take the risk of doing so. Sometimes houses of worship and nonprofits rise to the occasion for a singular fund-raiser or building campaign, and this is commendable. But what’s needed is a 52-week-per-year strategy that ultimately creates a culture of generosity. This culture looks beyond its own walls and seeks to give toward and partner with nonprofits and the greater community. Join us for this free webinar to learn how to create a culture of generosity.
