I TIMOTHY 6:17-18  YOUR PLENTY MEETS THEIR NEEDS “ Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put  their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

“ There are three irrefutable rules which will assure you success as a fund raiser.  Unfortunately, no one has ever discovered what they are.”   ---John Russell,  Born to Raise
In fact, there are at least three qualities that are found in every successful fund raising project: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
When it Comes to Effective Fund Raising --- Character  is What Counts These competencies are listed in order of priority, as identified by donors in a secular context.  In other words, these are the qualities that donors to non-sectarian organizations rated as priority for those organization’s leadership.

V. PROJECT PROPOSAL  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Just Start Writing!  The format can be very simple or more elaborate.  Simple formats are very acceptable; we have seen no evidence that color or other “slick print” formats make any difference in end result.  From the human perspective, results depend on your vision, your network of contacts, and how thorough you are in conveying your vision to your network of contacts.  CONTENT RECOMMENDATIONS
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],YOUR PROPOSAL SHOULD INCLUDE :

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],PLEDGE CARDS AND RETURN ENVELOPES
A SAMPLE GIFT PLAN MIGHT LOOK LIKE THIS:   Number of Churches or Individuals (Giving is over a 4 year period)  TOTAL 2  churches or individuals giving $50,000 each provides $100,000 2 churches or individuals giving $25,000 each provides $  50,000 5  churches or individuals giving $10,000 each provides $  50,000 10  churches or individuals giving $5,000 each provides $  50,000 30 churches or individuals giving Under $5,000 provides $  50,000 TOTAL giving over 4 years  $300,000
HIGHLIGHTING THE FINANCIAL GOAL   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE FOLLOWING PARTNERSHIPS   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE IMPACT OF GIFT SIZE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],It takes… 43 donors to give a total of $30,000 Compare… If all gifts are $250 each, 120 donors to give a total of $30,000
THINK OF OTHERS WHO MAY MULTIPLY YOUR EFFORTS : ,[object Object],One helper raises $10,000 Another helper raises $5,000 Another helper raises $2,500 Another helper raises $2,500 And you raise only $10,000 directly, For a total of $30,000… Compare the Number of Contacts You Would Have to Make to Raise All $30,000 BY Yourself.
VII. PROSPECT DEVELOPMENT   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
SUPPORTING A CHURCH PLANT PROJECT IS VERY ATTRACTIVE TO TODAY’S DONORS ,[object Object],[object Object],Today’s individual donors as well as the rising generation of church leadership is a people who prefer to give to (1) short-term projects, (2) in which they take a direct personal interest, (3) anticipating quick and (4) highly visible results.  This is decidedly to your advantage as you seek one-time support for your project.  Keynote text: “ Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”     II Corinthians 9:7

IX. HOW TO ASK FOR MONEY – FOCUS  ON INDIVIDUALS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],THESE GENERAL GUIDELINES APPLY TO ASKING FOR LARGE GIFTS:
FOCUS ON CHURCHES: A CHURCH IS A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
COMMON QUESTIONS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
X.  THE ART OF COMMUNICATION—FOLLOW-UP ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
XI. CONCLUSION:  HOW GREAT IS YOUR  FAITH?   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. We are here today to talk with you about the Mission to North America Cash Management Services. Whether you use MNA for your cash management services or not, you will want to listen to the tips to keep you out of jail when the IRS comes knocking! You are welcome to stop us and ask questions at any time. All of this information is on your CD (in a different format). Our contact information is on the MNA brochure that you have in your goody bag.
  2. First a definition of the term Cash Management Services: We will manage the money that your donors send to you and manage the disbursement of your money to you. If you choose to use a service other than MNA, you should make sure they will do at least 2 things for you: 1. Receive your donor’s gifts directly. 2. Issue your donors a tax deductible receipt for their gifts. In addition to those 2 things, MNA’s services help with your cash flow Read second bullet . Read third bullet. Support for our services are provided by the Asking donations from PCA churches. When your ministry is able to give back, we encourage you to do so thru the askings. Read last bullet.
  3. Read first bullet. Read second bullet .
  4. When you get ready to start your fundraising, you will need a pledge card. Pledge cards are an opportunity for you to distribute information about your church plant, but they are also legal documents. If you use MNA for your cash management services, we will send tax deductible receipts to your donors. MNA, is under the PCA, Inc., umbrella which authorizes us to send your donors tax deductible receipts. Therefore, we adhere to all IRS regulations. As a result you will need to use the exact wording for your pledge cards that is outlined here. You may design your cards in any form or fashion, including using photos and different shapes and sizes. Just as long as you have the wording here. When you open your account, request this document from us by email; do not copy the form from someone else, since wording does change from time to time, and their version may be out of date. Hold up examples…
  5. Read first bullet. We recently added the ability for you to go online at any time and have access to your donor reports that are updated daily. Read second, third, and fourth bullets. You are very important to us! We are here to help you with your fundraising efforts. We even pray for you!
  6. Our cash management services are provided subject to the Presbytery appointing an oversight body and the Presbytery signing an agreement for services with MNA. The oversight body is always a commission appointed by your Presbytery.  The Commission may be the presbytery MNA committee, it may be a specially appointed commission for this purpose only, or it may be the session of a mother church (if your plant is a direct daughter church), but whichever of these it is, the presbytery must – by motion – appoint this group as the commission to oversee your work. For simplicity, we have used the word Presbytery in this presentation as the oversight body. Read second, third and fourth bullets.
  7. This is what your presbytery should be doing for you. Read first bullet . The commission will be in charge of your work. This second bullet is simply saying that you are not an employee of MNA – you would be an employee of either your presbytery, your mother church, or the church plant itself. Read third bullet.
  8. These bullets are details for the fact that your oversight body will stay involved through the whole process.
  9. Read one – four bullets. If you and your presbytery are not certain on how to phrase the call letter, it is in the Book of Church Order at 20-6.

  11. This information is very important regardless of using our cash management services. Read 1 . This can be done at the IRS.gov website or you may contact us and get the information. The EIN for your church plant is the equivalent of a social security number for an individual. All businesses need an EIN, and your church plant is considered a business. 2. There are 3 options to establish tax exempt status for your mission church. Read A, B, and C. A or B is most preferred, depending on your oversight; C is rarely necessary, and a lot of additional work and expense to be able to have tax-exempt status. PAUSE Now, it makes sense to incorporate early in your mission church life, so that you can do business easily, but you do not need to seek your own tax exemption. Incorporation by itself is simple and inexpensive to do; sample bylaws are on our website. This is a topic that I get a lot of questions about when I set up accounts. Are there any questions?
  12. Bank Account: There is a huge red flag for the IRS and your bank account! Never, ever, ever, ever… put your name on the account to write or sign checks! OR endorse incoming checks. Same for debit cards. Credit cards are a grayer area. OK to have a credit card in the church plant name IF another person is paying your bills. Financial Mgt/Accountability: Establish a team for your financial management of your gifts and your expenses that is approved by your presbytery oversight and reports regularly to them. Another IRS red flag is for you or your wife or a close family member to be your bookkeeper or treasurer. Those positions are important, but should be filled by a member of your commission or core group. Even if you are not concerned about the IRS and you know your relative is extremely competent and moral, the perception of your core group can be far from reality in having a close relationship to the finances. Appearances vs reality. (Perception is Reality.) Are there any comments or questions?
  13. Read first bullet Read second bullet (we advise) Read third bullet
  14. Key Factors of your budget: Salary package – you will get details about this later in the afternoon. Calculate core group giving – Add your outside giving that will come through MNA (if using our cash mgt services) plus the gifts that your core group will give directly to your plant as both of these are factors to consider during budget development. Your core group giving will not be sent to MNA, it will remain with you locally. Include funds for training and coaching – do not shortchange yourself. Budget for staff members – when and who will come on board. For example: music minister, administrative staff.
  15. Read slide. One last suggestion – establish a relationship with an accountant that specializes in taxes for ministers. We can refer a wonderful CPA that works nationwide. Are there any questions? Given time: Okay, Ted, they are ready for the test!
