  • “It’s exciting for people to have an opportunity to align our investments to both our fiscal goals and environmental principles.”

    Bret

  • “Every time we’ve had a speaker from the Foundation, it has inspired significant new contributions to our local church endowment.”

    Peter

  • “I worked with the Foundation on a designated gift to replace my pledging when I died. Giving is just what you do. I wanted to continue that.”

    Doug

  • “A gift annuity sounds too good to be true. It’s such a win-win! It was easy to set one up with the Foundation.”

    Lynn

  • “It’s great to have expert and morally-minded professionals who can steer us in the right direction.”

    Richenda

  • “I could do some of these things because people in the church support it, but because we have this endowment it provides a whole other level we can rise to.”

    Sarah

  • “When someone has an idea for a new ministry, like Messy Church… we have funds we can leverage.”

stock gifts

And there's so much more. For example, did you know that your church can accept gifts of stock without the hassle and expense of maintaining a brokerage account? We'll do the work for you, free of charge. It's part of our ministry.

Pledge Campaign: should you D-I-Y, buy the book, or hire a pro?
Pledge Campaign: should you D-I-Y, buy the book, or hire a pro?

We often get asked which type of pledge campaign we recommend. There are a lot of options, and one size doesn’t fit all. The D-I-Y approach costs the least money but requires a huge investment of time and energy to be successful. Buying a book and following the program requires the least time and energy. Hiring an outside consultant comes with the highest price tag, but can produce excellent results if leadership devotes significant time and energy to following the recommendations. Read on our top resource picks for each of these three types of pledge campaigns.
