Annual Financial Development PlansA comprehensive stewardship plan consists of five methods of fundraising, applied to five donor segments. One method used is written communication (and may include direct mail solicitation). Telemarketing/Teleministry is a second method. Group events of all sizes and shapes are a staple of our stewardship planning and implementation. Personal solicitation is the most effective method and is often overlooked, underutilized or avoided altogether. A fifth method is wise use of your media opportunities, both electronic and print (a good newsletter and an even better website). We help you take those five methods and apply them to your five fundraising markets. Your plan must include a solid, time-tested strategy to solicit individuals, churches, businesses (S corps), corporations (C corps) and foundations. We can help you to appeal to new donors, increase levels of support from current donors, bring back lapsed donors, express appreciation to donors, and network to new donors. We look at past results, responsibilities assigned to team members, resources allocated, and survey key stakeholders regarding their thoughts about the financial development function. The Plan will help you respond to the financial development challenges you face. |

“We think the book is compelling reading. It’s incredibly lively, deceptively profound and frankly, it’s essential and needed!”
