So you’ve been called to plant a new church and now you’re elbow-deep in fundraising. You’re probably approaching organizations as well as high-worth individuals for financial support. Have you thought about putting together a proposal?
The church plant proposal is the vision and reason for the new church in written form. It should also include your goals and your plan to attain those goals. The proposal functions in many ways like a business plan or proposal that a new small business might put together to encourage investors to jump in. Putting one together will force you to think concretely about your vision and the case for planting.
As a side benefit, having this all written down will strengthen your ‘pitch’ and help keep your message consistent between meetings.
Organizations and businessmen used to dealing in business terms will be impressed that you have thought through everything and have a solid plan. This will build your credibility and should increase your success rate at raising support.
For some great ideas on what to include, we recommend reading
