Last year, faith-based organizations received the largest percentage of online gifts on #GivingTuesday compared to other nonprofit sectors. Yet, many churches are on the fence about whether they should participate on November 27th.

#GivingTuesday kicks off the season of generosity, and it’s on November 27th! While it’s only a single day, the impact is momentous. The first #GivingTuesday was in 2012 and raised over $10.1 million online. In 2017, over $274 million was raised, and this year giving is expected to increase by 21%.
Various factors impact your ministry’s health, like digital giving tools, your ChMS, leadership, staff, budget, and the local community. The key to success is that each of these factors work together. Of course, this doesn’t happen on its own—it takes a plan.
Last year was record-breaking for #GivingTuesday with $274 million raised online. This year, experts predict that we’ll see a 21% increase in online gifts and raise over $330 million in total. While it’s taken a while for this global day of generosity to catch on, the impact noticeably grows year after year.
Pastor Appreciation Day is on October 14th and October is Pastor Appreciation Month. While you should appreciate your pastor throughout the year, this month is a wonderful opportunity to show gratitude for all they do.
With the season of generosity fast approaching, churches not only see an increase in giving, but they also notice seats filling up. This gives ministries an opportunity to grow over the next few months and inspire new guests to become active members.
