Our comprehensive GivingTuesday Church Toolkit equips your congregation to transform this global day of generosity into a meaningful spiritual journey that advances your mission.
For maximum effectiveness, begin with the prayer guide 3-4 weeks before GivingTuesday, incorporating weekly devotionals into services and small groups to spiritually prepare your congregation. Simultaneously, use the planning spreadsheet to assign specific responsibilities, track progress, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks, updating it during weekly team check-ins. Deploy the communication templates strategically: send the initial email announcement 2-3 weeks out, schedule social media posts for consistent visibility (2-3 per week, increasing closer to the day), and deliver the Sunday announcement on the two weekends before GivingTuesday. The official GivingTuesday resources provide valuable statistics and graphics to enhance your custom materials.
Generosity Prayer Guide
Our church prayer guide helps you connect with GivingTuesday in a meaningful way. This isn’t just about donating money – it’s about growing in faith and community. The guide offers prayers for everyone: church leaders, staff, families, and individuals. Whether your members can give a lot or a little, this resource helps everyone approach generosity as a spiritual practice, not just a one-day event. It’s designed to inspire and support your church community in living generously all year long.
Planning Spreadsheet
This planning sheet is your easy-to-follow guide for running a successful GivingTuesday campaign at your church. Think of it as a checklist that keeps everyone on the same page! The sheet breaks down all the tasks you need to complete, from gathering your team and setting goals to creating your message and running the actual day. To use it, just work through each task in order of priority (P0 tasks are most important), assign someone responsible for each item, and update the “Status” column as you go. By following this simple roadmap, you’ll turn what could be a stressful fundraising day into a smooth, organized event that inspires your congregation to give generously. No more forgotten details or last-minute scrambling. Just a well-planned campaign that maximizes your ministry’s impact!
