Best Year-End Giving EVER!
Year-end giving is one of the best seasons in the church. When your team is able to lean in and create an intentional strategy - your church has the opportunity to connect with and inspire your givers, celebrate what your church community has accomplished over the past year, share life-changing stories, and together look to the next year with anticipation of how God will move within your ministry and community.
The Generis Team joined forces to create not one, but an entire Year-End Giving Resource Suite. A collection of new resources, our best tools, and specific support opportunities all bundled into one location to help you prepare your best year-end giving strategy.
Calendars just don’t quit, do they? On your church calendar there’s always something big and important coming up.The good news is, we’ve got you covered in this issue of GenerosityNOW!
Many of our Generosity Experts have joined in on this roundup of practical and timely content. Resources include a framework for the generosity conversation in a worship setting; the cryptocurrency workshop replay; upcoming sessions of the Generosity Workshop Series; the upcoming Advancement Workshop Series; Culture Conference 2021; and A conversation about Race, Religion and Philanthropy with Nona Jones and Carla Ray.
This edition was jam-packed with resources and tools created by a few of our veteran generosity and ministry experts. We designed this especially for you—to help you stay engaged with your givers, rebuild your volunteer roster, think through what to do with your online campus, and more. You will find videos, quick guides, downloadable templates, and resource bundles—so much great content to help accelerate greater generosity in your church.
As we round the one-year anniversary of navigating the pandemic, the Church across America is still unsure of what services will look like for the remainder of this year. Through August 2021, our team predicts a season of irregular operations, growing toward more dependable scheduling and meeting in the fall.
Moving into 2021, we saw this as a time to build on the stability of 2020 and begin to anchor your givers, especially your core givers, for the season ahead. Our team shared a great resource for the annual giving statement, including easy to use templates for various types of thank you letters you might use in your annual giving statement process.
