Set Yourself Up for a Successful #GivingTuesday with Online Giving
Summary
Providing your congregation and community with a better way to connect to the church ignites giving as you enter the most generous time of the year. Although #GivingTuesday is just around the corner, you’ll still want to make sure you have a plan in place to effectively launch your digital giving. Once you’ve customized your features, picked your cause for #GivingTuesday, and a soft rollout with your volunteers, you’ll need to select an official launch date. Here’s a checklist to ensure you maximize the launch: • Prepare and hand out pamphlets showing how to donate via text, in-app, and online • Demonstrate the process before service and share slides with simple instructions • Dedicate a staff member or volunteer to work with members that are less familiar with the technology • Spread the word by sharing the link to your online giving page and your unique text-to-give number in emails and on social media. Digital giving should be a breeze and by taking these steps to plan out your launch (or relaunch), you’ll see more engagement and participation in furthering your church’s vision on #GivingTuesday and beyond!
