AUGUST 14, 2020

Set up study groups - we should be taking courses, reading books, and talking to people that help us grow, both as fundraisers, and as people. With lots of time to stress out about not being able to do their job of meeting with their donors. It's ultimately about raising funds, not the meetings. Give a call or send an email.

Have some serious awards, like most valuable volunteer or most loyal program head, and some sillier ones, like goofiest VBS volunteer or youth group class clown. Switch up how you tell your members about fundraisers. It helps prevent donor fatigue and wariness about how the money you raise is used. Chili cook-offs are a classic. Awards shows.

I typically remind my Bible study group of our Thursday morning get-together the night before and send one email a week with details on our lesson sent in enough time for them to prepare. The last thing you want to do is to allow technology to get in the way of ministry. You Communicate Too Frequently. Same goes for text messaging.
