Reaching Groups Series
Expanding your network by asking your current friends & contacts to refer you to theirs can be one of the hardest and most nuanced elements of support raising. In this masterclass we look at what referrals are and are not, and we unpack a method that has seen participants go from walking away from referral appointments with one or two names, to leaving with fifteen or more.
There are a lot of parallels when it comes to seeking support from a church as compared to an individual, but at the same time there are important differences. In this masterclass we consider the wide variety of experiences you may have with different church bodies, and how to effectively develop relationships with churches and their congregations.
It’s important to be intentional about meeting supporters and potential supporters in person from time to time, but what should that look like? In this masterclass we consider some of the dos and don’ts of an effective trip, whether your need is to increase your support, or just to steward your relationships with your supporters well by spending time with them and updating them.
Staying Fully Funded Series
A key part of updating your supporters is through a regular form of mass communication - most often a newsletter. In this masterclass we look in depth at what helps make an engaging newsletter, in terms of content, design and delivery. We also think about what other modern forms of communication (social media, texts, etc.) might look like.
A natural part of a life of support-raising is that we will often come back to a place of needing to raise more - whether because of support dropping, expenses increasing, or something else. In this masterclass we look at assessing accurately what our real need is before considering how we can respectfully ask supporters for increase, previous supporters to rejoin, and new people to join.
Staying healthy in life and ministry means maintaining healthy relationships with those who have sent you into the work that you are doing - your partners. In this masterclass we consider what it means to have a ‘partner’ rather than a ‘donor’ and how to be intentional about cultivating those relationships despite the distance.
Although it is imperative that we ensure our regular needs are met by looking for partners who give regular support, there arises from time-to-time the occasional special need. In this masterclass we look at reasons we may ask for a special gift, on top of our regular support, and then consider how End of Year giving is one key time that people are willing to give more.
