The final component of Giving is God’s Way needs to ensure that stewardship remains an ongoing task in our churches. Giving is God’s Way is not a one-off fundraising programme and we need to find ways to help our church members continue to link their generous giving with discipleship.
In this section the downloadable guide (.pdf, 576kb) offers some ideas on best practice for ongoing stewardship, including Gift Aid, legacies, the Parish Buying Service and more, as well as advice on refining your stewardship strategy in the light of having run Giving is God’s Way. The supporting documents include:
- a sample evaluation form (.docx, 275kb)
- three sample annual ‘thank you’ letters: letter 1 (.docx, 26kb), letter 2 (.docx, 26kb) and letter 3 (.docx, 27kb).
