“You had me write handwritten thank-you notes. Last year, my business manager showed me a 5-figure check from a congregant, a first. A month later, we received another 5-figure donation in stock." Dr. Ross shares heartwarming anecdotes about how personal stewardship and gratitude resulted in increased donations from congregants. It’s amazing how simple gestures like handwritten notes and genuine personal interactions can deeply impact our donors’ willingness to give. These small, often overlooked actions can make a world of difference. #ChurchFundraising #FinancialIndependence #FundraisingStrategies #EmpowerChurches #NFM #FinancialEmpowerment #CommunityImpact #FinancialSolutions #BlackCommunity #ChurchGrowth #NonprofitSupport #FaithBasedOrganizations #ChurchLeadership #ChurchFinancialHealth #blackchurch #BlackChurches

I experienced the best fundraiser ever a few months ago. It was a win-win-win (..win..win..win) situation. My church was fundraising for a summer camp to send high-schoolers to. The high schoolers put on a "Parent's Night Out." One Saturday night they let parents drop off their kids for 3 hours. The high schoolers watched all the kids and had fun together. This was free, and they also accepted donations. It was awesome, on so many levels. So many wins Win 1- The Donor: They gave me something SO valuable, time with my spouse, rather than just asking me for money. I GLADLY donated. Win 2- The Recipient: The high schoolers gave of their own time and effort. They participated and contributed, and this creates ownership. Win 3- The Values: This is 100% aligned with the values the church is trying to foster. Intergenerational relationships. Generosity. Community. Trust. Attention to time building strong marriages. If we can creatively build this sort of infinite win situation into our non profits and businesses, we'll have done well.
