Consider the volunteers you interact with, how are you going beyond thanking them for their time and instead honoring the gift of their own self? How are we restoring them to themselves; that is, sharing with them the greater impact the gift of their time and person has in the mission together we serve?
Is there a donor to whom you have tried to offer an exchange of a tangible items and they seemed not to want it? How can you shift to a mindset of relationship in your conversations with that donor? How are you nurturing relationships with donors that are excited to see the world-changing and life-giving power of their donations?
How are we continuing to give opportunities for donors to be generous to the mission we serve as they give to others in light of world events?
Where are the areas of your mission that could lead to guilt or shame giving? How will you define the positive impacts of giving in those areas to speak to joy and blessing? When you think of your donors, are there any that come to mind that are giving from a sense of guilt or shame? Is there a way to be joyfully present for them in their giving?
