Inviting generous giving to your Partner Account

We believe in active generosity and that giving to causes that you care about should be as straightforward as possible. In this hybrid age, how can we best invite generous giving? 

If you haven’t already, make sure that your Stewardship profile is up to date and consider how you can best inspire generosity when people visit it by reading this blog post.

Once you have an up-to-date profile or an appeal page that you would like to share, here are three key ways to point supporters to give with Stewardship:

 

Signpost on your website

We would encourage you to have a designated area on their website about giving. This page can be used to tell supporters what their support enables and how they can get involved – financially or otherwise.

Here is some sample wording you can amend if you don’t know where to start:

“Thank you for considering giving to St Michael’s. Your financial support enables us to have our weekly Sunday services, host Tea & Toys for local families mid-week, run our seeker Bible-study course for those considering the Christian faith, and so much more.

If you are able to make a regular or one-off gift to support our ongoing work, please give to St Michael’s with Stewardship. Gifts made with Stewardship really save us time and decrease our admin burden, particularly around Gift Aid. You can easily manage your regular giving with Stewardship with their online Giving Account, or by contacting their team of friendly Giving Stewards.

You can set up a regular gift or make a one-off donation online by clicking the button/link below. Thank you for your generous support!”

Make use of our digital giving buttons for your website to create an eye-catching link to your profile or fundraising and donation pages.

 

Make use of our QR code resources

It is straightforward to generate a QR code to take supporters directly to your giving page from your partner profile. You can follow some simple guidance on how to do this.

QR codes provide a helpful way to direct people to giving with their smartphone.

By including a QR code in a church service sheet, on a conference Powerpoint presentation or appeal letters, supporters can quickly give whenever they wish. We have created some template posters and postcards for our partners, which you can use in your buildings, at conferences, and wherever else you interact with supporters.

Customise your QR code resources using our Canva templates:

 
Share on social media

Use your social media to share your profile or pages with a short appeal to give. Keep the wording of your post succinct, leading with your mission and vision. To ensure the best engagement from your followers online, use an eye-catching image. We have created some Canva templates for posting on Facebook, Twitter (X), and Instagram which may be helpful.

We hope you found this article useful for making the most of your Partner Account. If you would like any further guidance on using your account, please look at our Help and Support centre or contact our teams who would be delighted to assist you.
