Fundraising For Churches PDF Download

"A tree just fell through the roof of the church!!!" "OH NO! Let's have a bake sale so we can fix it!" If you've ever heard this conversation or one like it, you might realize that you need better tools than cookie sheets to raise big money. But where do you start? Great fundraising starts with a powerful mission… and you have a mission that comes straight from Almighty God: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations…" "Letters from the Almoner" will teach you how to raise money for your church or ministry. Join the Almoner as he writes to both his parish priest and a determined volunteer about the ins and outs of fundraising in a small, poor church. You'll learn the nuts and bolts of how to raise money effectively. You'll also discover that fundraising can be a powerful opportunity for conversion for the fundraiser and the donor. "Letters from the Almoner" will help you move beyond bake sales to mission-focused fundraising that really works. It has to… souls and lives are at stake. "A very useful tool for pastors, so many of whom are called upon to seek funding for projects in their parishes. There is a fair amount that is available for them regarding what is commonly called ‘stewardship,’ but not a lot on fundraising. There should be a willing audience for this helpful volume in the epistolary style." - Bishop Joel M. Konzen, Archdiocese of Atlanta
