Sample Letter to Giving Leaders
The following letter shows how to link vision to giving as well as how to encourage leaders to give more!
Dear _____________,
I’m Fired Up because we went back on offense in 2022, and your generosity helped make that happen. On behalf of countless lives changed, let me say thank you!
Because of the faithful generosity of our members, we have been able to: (Insert your own examples)
- List an outreach ministry your church supported,
- Give a report of summer camps, VBS, etc.
- List any other victories accomplished because of members’ generosity.
Thank you, NAME Church, for helping make all the above and MUCH more possible!
You helped make all the above possible through your generosity! We have so much more to do as we prepare for our mission to continue this fall. Consider these challenges of need: (Insert your own needs)
These challenges are an opportunity for our church to step up and continue being the hands and feet of Jesus!
I wanted to alert you to a special offering we will hold in the next few weeks culminating on Labor Day, September 4th. We are challenging our entire church family to give a gift over and above their regular giving for a special offering we are calling “Take the Challenge.”
“Take the Challenge” has a two-fold goal with this offering. First, we have a goal of making up one week’s lost offering. Achieving this will better position us for our fall ministries. Our giving goal is to receive an additional $10,000 (Insert your giving goal) above our normal offering. Your generosity will help us achieve that goal. The secondary goal is to motivate others to join generous people like you.
You will be hearing more about this in the weeks to come. Will you join me in taking the challenge by giving an extra offering for our “Take the Challenge” offering?
Blessings,
Pastor Mark
