Are you attending a church full of life and enthusiasm for Christ or you are in a church where members are slow and feel less inclined to intervene and participate? Both scenarios are quite common in churches today. If you are a church worker in a church that is the price for this second scenario you job of fundraising just got harder. You may wonder how I raise money at my congregation does not hear us ask for more money. It becomes your challenge. Your congregation has been at the fundraiser sales and bake, they come to shop the annual fundraising jumble sale, but they are unwilling to give much more than that.
For you, the church workers who made the cell phone fundraising and fundraising ink here's an idea to shake things up a bit.
How to make a Trivial Pursuit progressive fundraising tournament. The way it works is similar to a chess tournament. Your Trivial Pursuit participants pay an entry fee for the tournament. Vous 10-20 Trivial Pursuit games are in the beginning. Then, with the end of each round the player pool shrinks until the last two players play the final round of the tournament. Prizes are awarded to the winner and runner up.
You need to have snacks available for sale and if your church is progressive, you can even have beer and wine available. A gradual Trivial Pursuit fundraising is so much fun when you find your group growing larger every year. There is much pleasure to come and participate as he is to watch. Your congregation may even be inviting friends to come see. When this begins to happen in your fundraising is now over a collection of funds directly to an amazing outreach opportunity, and when it was really time to think about it is our responsibility to testify.
