Take Your Generosity to The Next Level
Horizons created five foundational principles for taking your culture of generosity to the next level.
- Keep it Spiritual. The church is first and foremost about creating disciples of Jesus Christ. Generous churches value discipleship and teach the idea of generosity as an integral part of their journey as Christ’s disciples.
- Tell Your Impact Story. People give to organizations they believe make an impact. Therefore, to grow giving to the next level requires celebrating stories of life change resulting from your ministries.
- Build Donor Relationships. Growing giving requires deepening relationships with donors by communicating from a donor-centric perspective. Donors want to know organizations they support value them and their input.
- Measure Effectiveness. Tracking and analyzing giving metrics enable churches to accelerate the impact of their strategies. Effective strategies emerge from quality data creation and analysis.
- Make the Ask. Churches that exponentially grow giving are intentional about thanking their givers and encouraging generosity as a transformational experience. The church centered on the idea of generosity asks for financial support in various ways—online, pledging, special asks, legacy giving, text-to-give, etc.
This proven framework enables church leaders like you to align people and resources to do more ministry. The result is a shift in culture that increases a church’s capacity to change lives and make a lasting impression on its community.
