53. Parish Fundraising: Making the Ask


Listen Later


Today’s Podcast:



How should a pastor go about asking his parishioners for a gift? What will help a pastor feel comfortable? How should a pastor frame that conversation? On today’s show, Michael Hutchinson, Managing Director for Changing Our World joins Jim Friend, as they talk about “Making the Ask” for a parish campaign.



At some point during their vocation, every pastor will be charged with asking for money. Sometimes these conversations are around a diocesan appeal, a parish campaign or an increased offertory program. Asking for money presents parishioners another opportunity to live out their faith. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
