Best Practices
Much of the work that we do each year to build strong stewardship campaigns for annual giving are based on these best practices that we teach. Each year these key resources are updated and augmented for the new theme. You are welcome to look through these best practice resources as they are, modify them for your own context, or build on them.
- Proportional giving charts
- Book recommendations
- Stewardship with children – here and here.
- Annual giving evaluation
- Prayer resources
- Sample Thank You plan – Embracing Stewardship is a great resource for congregations. In Chapter 8 of the book, authors Charles R. Lane and Grace Duddy Pomroy recommend that your congregation develop a plan for how you will thank those who support your work.
