Lifting the bonnet on today's giving

You must have heard it said: 'Everyone here is giving all they can!'. Hard to know one can speak confidently of the personal circumstances of everyone else but regardless, the story is out there and the confidence of the stewardship committee begins to falter. In truth in almost every congregation much of the giving is from the generosity of a few while many give rather less than we or indeed they might think. This pattern of giving is called skew and a Giving Profile helps us understand it. The resources on this page facilitate a simple, two step process which will gather giving data, preserve confidentiality and create a visual Giving Profile which will stimulate both discussion and action.
