Parish Fundraising Toolkit

Customizable frameworks to help your parish tell its story with clarity and conviction.

Donors give to mission, not to budgets. These templates will help you articulate your community’s purpose, pressing needs and demonstrated impact in language that connects with both long-time members and prospective supporters. Each template is fully adaptable to your parish’s voice and context.

Timely, pastorally sensitive communications for every stage of your campaign.

The kit includes ready-to-use letters, bulletin inserts, email templates and pulpit scripts, each drafted for the natural rhythm of a parish campaign. Materials are written in an Anglican register – invitational, not transactional, and attentive to the relationship between donor, community and God’s work in the world.

Seasonal, pastorally framed materials that make legacy conversations natural and welcome.

Planned giving is among the most significant acts of Christian stewardship a parishioner can make, yet the conversation is often deferred. These resources will help you normalize legacy giving throughout the Church year, offering gentle, theologically grounded language that honours donors at every stage of life.

Year-round practices that cultivate generosity as a spiritual discipline, not an annual appeal.

Sustainable fundraising grows from a deep-rooted culture of generosity. This guide offers a year-round framework for integrating stewardship into parish life – from formation and preaching to volunteer recognition and financial transparency – so giving becomes a natural expression of discipleship rather than a seasonal obligation.

Facilitated learning designed to build confidence and capacity in your parish team.

Offered through the ADTF, these workshops will equip your parish leadership with the skills and frameworks to lead your parish’s generosity efforts. Sessions are available in both in-person and remote formats and can be tailored to your parish’s particular circumstances and goals.
