Preparing for a Response
Preparing for a Response: Resources
Good follow-up is a blend of efficient administration and personal engagement.
Why? Because good stewardship is not just about releasing the gift but nurturing the giver. We value all responses by thanking people promptly and responding to requests personally. We don't isolate responses from the relationships that are at the heart of the church.
Thank You Letter
St Paul said 'thank you' to his financial supporters (Phil. 4:10-19); so should we.

Reminder Letter
St Paul challenged the church members at Corinth to finish what they started (2 Cor. 8:10-11). We can do the same. People do forget but a piece is missing from the jigsaw. Send reminder letters within two weeks of the closing date for the return of response forms.

Providing Further Information
Response forms invite requests for information on ways to give. Managing such requests efficiently and personally is about the value we place on someone's response and our trustworthiness in financial matters.
