If you are fundraising for your new church plant (did I really just say if?), a great way to connect with your supporters is to invite them to visit in person. Everyone on your list should certainly be invited for Launch Sunday, but you may want to consider inviting key contributors for other significant events:
- The donor who sent money for your bounce house or ice cream truck may want to come to the first big outreach event where you use these
- The donor who sent money for the A/V equipment could come for the first dry run of set-up and tear-down
- A significant donor could simply be invited for a personal tour of the town. Demonstrate how much you’ve learned about the people in the community and refresh in their mind your vision
You get the idea. Remember that ministry is all about relationship; so is support raising. Treat them like family and keep them included in what’s going on. After all, one of their motivations is to participate in the Kingdom by supporting you. Don’t muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain.
