Summer Giving

Stimulate summer giving with a short initiative highlighting summer ministries. Summer giving emphases have several purposes:

  • Highlight the impact of upcoming summer ministry.
  • Enhance stewardship education and participation.
  • Provide a next step opportunity for first-time givers.
  • Offer high capacity givers an opportunity to give a special offering.
  • Raise money for the general budget or one fund.

Summer giving campaigns come in two forms. A limited initiative highlights key ministry opportunities with an estimate of total cost and gospel impact. A broader emphasis outlines the total budget impact of the summer months with the goal of fully funding that work.

A few ideas for summer giving initiatives include the following:

  • Begin a summer giving emphasis in April or May.
  • Create a promotional flyer and distribute it widely.
  • Provide regular giving updates throughout the summer.
  • Tell summer stories about life change and gospel impact.
  • Highlight important summer outreach, missions and next generation ministry opportunities.
  • Verbalize the “why” behind summer events.
