Thank you for highlighting the crucial role Black churches play in fostering philanthropy and empowering African American communities. This connection showcases their resilience and commitment. While the legacy of giving in Black churches is strong, there’s often a lack of understanding of modern fundraising techniques essential for sustained success. Many divinity schools don’t cover fundraising, leaving churches to rely on traditional methods like “passing the plate” or community fundraisers, which are often insufficient today. Modern fundraising requires strategies like timely donor recognition, annual reports, and donor segmentation, which are crucial for targeted engagement. Creating a compelling Case for Support and executing strategic solicitations are often overlooked but foundational to success. These skills are learnable. With the right guidance, Black churches can effectively implement these strategies, ensuring they thrive and serve their communities. Your article is a crucial step in starting this conversation, and I hope it encourages Black church leaders to seek the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in modern fundraising. Black churches must remain sustainable and grow for the well-being of our communities.
New #Insights Alert! The Black church has been a pillar of hope and resilience in African American communities, deeply influencing both spiritual and social landscapes through a rich tradition of philanthropy. In this edition, George Shears III, D.Min., explores how this enduring tradition has evolved and continues to fuel positive change. Also, don’t miss the #ExpandedPerspective from Carlos W. Perkins, D.Min., our Associate of Engagement, on the vital role of building strong ties between philanthropy and Black congregations.
