Connecting your missionaries' fundraising efforts to your church's online giving program

TO YOUR

Participating in a mission is one of the most altruistic pursuits an individual can take.

The last thing a missionary should have to

worry about is how to afford the travel and lodging costs.

Fortunately, there is a vast network of sponsors waiting to support the cause.

Crowdfunding has become an amazing asset for pursuing activities that positively affect our world.

Receiving the money you need to fulfill your mission is as easy as picking the right online resource to help you fundraise.

It’s never been easier for donors to back your

missionary efforts.

There are many benefits to donating online:

o It’s easy.

o It can be anonymous.

o Tracking funds is simple and fun!

When using a faith-based giving platform, there are many options for the types of donations that can be made:

o Tithing

o Mission trip giving

o Child sponsorships

Take the worry out of raising finances for your mission by letting your church help you help others.

Continue To Give has utilized the latest in online donation technology to make

fundraising on your behalf as simple and convenient as possible.

Begin the fundraising process by setting up

an account.

Once backers can locate your fundraising link, their

ability to donate is just a click away.

Now it’s important to get the word

out!

After creating your account, the best way to get people to take notice is by posting your link to social media sites.

Once your link is out there, supporters have the opportunity to give, repost, or create supplementary accounts to raise money for your mission.

Assess realistic monetary needs for your entire mission journey.

When setting your fundraising goal on your site, give a conservative estimate that is sure to meet all of your cost

needs.

Include a brief statement with your financial goal to inspire benefactors to donate to your mission.

The best way to perpetuate the success of online fundraising is to never take the

ease of receiving the money and support for granted.

Bring your online fundraising full circle by thanking your advocates:

o Give shout outs on social media.
