3 Occasions to Upgrade Your Donors (3/11/08)

Everyone I talk to loves to see their donors upgrade their giving. I can think of 3 occasions when you need to seriously consider contacting your donors and asking them to upgrade their giving.

1. Increased Income

Any time you hear or sense your donors are in the position of seeing their income increase, that is a great time to make contact. It could be a promotion, a sale of property etc.

2. Reduced Expenses

Any time there are reduced expenses, that can mean more available funds to give away. It could be the last college payment for a couple’s children. Maybe the last mortgage payment. All are indicators that their economic condition is changing for the good.

3. Expanded Vision

This part rests with you and your vision. People find ways to support those they know, trust and care for when they sense God at work in their vision casting. When the Lord lays on your heart a project or plan that needs to be funded, that is the time you can go back to those faithful supporters and ask them to upgrade their giving.

"This seminar has helped me to see the pass up the mountain and that the paths are climbable with God's help. Also we have heard the fable of the goose that laid the golden egg... You have helped us to see, Bill, that they are not geese, they are people. We need to minister and care for them."
