How to Be a Funding Partner Without Giving a Dime
Can you be a fundraiser for OMS ministry around the world?
Of course you can. Here’s how!
There’s a huge misconception that’s holding a lot of people back …
Most One Mission Society (OMS) donors believe ministry support comes from big donations from today’s wealthiest churches and most successful businesses. Not So!
Many organizations ignore the monies residing or hiding within their own relationships.
How do we know?
Recently, OMS received a significant major gift from a donor whose largest gift previously was less than $500.
You might think the big gift came because the donor attended a fundraising event … NOT TRUE.
Or, because the donor had been wooed for years for that one special ask … WRONG AGAIN.
Maybe a friend pressured this donor to give … NOPE.
In fact, the donor responded to ONE proposal and ONE resulting phone call.
How can one letter and one phone call result in an increase of 50X?
Answer: The proposal and phone call spoke to the donor’s heart.
You see it wasn’t a question of CAPACITY − but CONNECTION.
The connection was made when the donor clearly understood what their large gift would accomplish through OMS.
Here’s how you can come alongside fulfilling ministry:
Þ After you have had your heart spoken to, sit and think about who else’s heart would be touched?
Þ Reach out to the OMS Development team and share that contact person’s name and contact info.
Þ Don’t procrastinate or the Holy Spirit could be stymied.
Þ Join the OMS Development team member assigned and make a joint call to that potential donor for an introduction.
Þ Pray for the Development team to connect with the heart information, leading to ministry being accomplished.
Thank you for considering and acting on this.
