We are a few weeks away from Giving Tuesday (the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving).

Giving Tuesday is a day when non-profits encourage people to donate to their favorite causes.

Why is this day so important for you and your apostolate? It is one of those rare days people expect you to ask for donations. Therefore, you must seize this opportunity!

Today, I want to share with you how to make the most of this day.

I have seen small apostolates raise more than $20,000 with the right Giving Tuesday campaign. You can, too, with the right approach! Check out my recommendations:

“Is there a Catholic way to fundraise?”

I hear this question all the time, practically every day.

Let me put your worries at ease. The answer is YES.

For the last two weeks, I shared with you the advice of a Catholic priest regarding the key facts every apostolate should know about fundraising.

Fr Michael is a Catholic priest in Baltimore and wrote a book titled Church Money: Rebuilding the Way We Fund Our Mission – Lessons from a Catholic Parish (Order through Ave Maria Press).

Today, I want to share Fr Michael’s recommendation on how to ask for a donation. Yes, this priest gives concrete advice on how to make the request. Check it out:

Today, I want to outline how Fr Michael recommends you START fundraising.

It’s great to learn what a priest has to say because he keeps you and me on the right path. Learn what this priest has to say:

There’s never been a better time to fundraise…

Yet standing out from the crowd can be more challenging than ever.

Enter Fr Michael White.

Fr Michael is a Catholic priest in Baltimore. He wrote a book titled Church Money: Rebuilding the Way We Fund Our Mission – Lessons from a Catholic Parish (Order through Ave Maria Press).

As a fundraiser, I was eager to review this book and share this priest’s advice which applies to ALL Catholic apostolates.

Nobody knows how to fundraise when they start.

Even I was naive during my first campaigns!

We all start in the same spot – zero knowledge and zero experience.

Just like with any activity, you have to learn along the way. Today, I want to share three essential fundraising skills that I think every Catholic apostolate should know.

Whether you are starting to raise funds or looking for some new ideas, you should know these three skills:
