Should you do a "Second Annual" Pledge Drive?

Leader: Cesie Delve Scheuermann and Julia Frisbie

Why do we do an annual campaign just once a year? Don’t a number of people forget to turn in a pledge card in the fall? Or some might not realize the first time around that giving is a spiritual discipline – they need to hear it again. Join us as we consider three key reasons to have a second pledge campaign early in 2021. You’ll get ideas on how to do a second campaign successfully, boldly, and without fear.

Cesie Delve Scheuermann is a consultant in stewardship, development, and grant writing for the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church and for many other nonprofits. She also writes the weekly blog Inspiring Generosity.
