We know it's not always easy to talk about money at church, especially when times are tough. But even when the economy's down, people tend to be super generous at the end of the year.
So, let's dive into some helpful tips to help you ask for year-end donations in a way that feels genuine.
Share Real Stories: Kick things off by showing what past donations have done. Maybe they helped fix up the church hall or supported a local food drive. Sharing real stories about where the money goes can really inspire people to chip in.
Be Honest: People appreciate honesty. Let everyone know why the church needs money, whether it's for repairs, new projects, or just keeping the lights on. When folks know what's up, they're more likely to help out.
Talk Heart to Heart: Tailor your message so it feels personal. Recognize that some folks might be struggling and thank them for any help they can give. A personal touch can go a long way.
Make It Easy: Not everyone likes to give the same way. Some might want to donate online, while others prefer giving cash or writing a check. Offer different options so everyone can give in the way that's easiest for them.
Make It Fun: Let's make giving something to celebrate! Share stories about how giving has made a difference, not just for the church but for the givers too.
Use technology: Spread the word through social media, the church website, and emails. Fun videos or cool graphics can really grab people's attention.
Bring in the Team: Have church members help out with the fundraising. Their energy and personal touch can encourage others to join in.
Party for a Purpose: Think about organizing fun events like bake sales, concerts, or dinners. These are great for raising funds and building community.
Say Thanks and Share Updates: Regularly let people know how the fundraising is going and how the money's being used. And don't forget to say thanks! A little appreciation goes a long way.
Keep It Biblical: Encourage prayers for the fundraising efforts. It's a nice way to reflect on why giving is important and ask for blessings.
So there you have it! Year-end giving is a big chance for churches to get the support they need. By keeping things sincere, open, and focused on the impact of giving, you can motivate your community to pitch in in a way that feels good and meaningful. It's not just about the cash; it's about fostering a spirit of togetherness and generosity that really embodies what this season is all about.
We'd love to show you what we built!

Breeze has been incredible. Their customer service, commitment to innovation, and their product are top-notch. I love the features, the ease of use and the mobile applications.
All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.
Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!
We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.
Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.
Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.
I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.
From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
