Let’s see if I can list all the sources of fundraising that your organization utilizes:
- Annual fund donations
- Fundraising/Charity Events
- User fees/Earned income
- Investment income
- Private foundation grants
- Government grants
- Corporate giving
- Church support
- Offering plate
- Unified giving (United Way, Federal Employee Campaign, etc.)
- Direct mail
- In-kind
- Tax credits
- Telethon campaign
- Capital campaign
- Legacy giving
The gospel of John — Jesus stood up and shouted, “If you are thirsty, come to me and drink! Have faith in me, and you will have streams of life-giving water flowing from deep inside you.”
Maybe this list can suggest some areas to explore within your own organization.
By the way — send me an email if you have a stream I haven’t mentioned. I’ll add it to the list.
