Capital Appeal workshop

Do you face a daunting task?

Capital appeals and fundraising campaigns to raise large, specific sums of money are not part of the everyday experience of most churches and so they can be daunting.

You may have extensive repairs to the church building that need funding, or may be looking to generate funds to undertake alterations to the church building to enable wider community use. Whatever the project that your church is planning this workshop will provide valuable insights into fundraising for a capital project.

This one-day workshop - aimed at anyone in the Oxford Diocese involved in capital projects - will cover:

• What would success look like today?

• A framework for a fundraising strategy

• Why people give, and how to ask

• Developing the case for support

• The Fundraising Feasibility Study: its purpose, value, and how it’s done

• Making the Ask, and sourcing lead gifts

• Implementing the campaign – developing action plans

In order to reach as many people as possible, we ask that only one person per church registers for the event.

For more information, please contact Julie Jones or Liz Kitch on 01865 208200.
