No time to write an end of year appeal? We made a bunch of templates so you can plug & play. 



Seek the Lord. 

Prayer prompts might include....

  • Put my heart in the right place when it comes to this appeal. What do I need to surrender to You? 
  • Who do you want me to invite to give?
  • Is there anyone I need to be reminded of that I don't normally ask? 
  • How much are You directing me to raise?
  • Will You give me the capacity/ bravery/ diligence to ask individuals and faithfully follow up with them? 


Determine an amount. 

Take your monthly shortfall (support goal - promises) x 15 + backpay  OR  $10,000; whichever you feel better about setting as your goal.


Gather your names.

  • Reminder: This appeals to a different type of giver
    • Search toolbox for one-time givers who gave $200< in a single gift in the last 3 yrs
    • if you have supporters who gave multiple times in 3 yrs, just count them 1x
    • lets say all those ppl give what they gave last time. How much does that add up to? Is that close to meeting your year-end ask amount?


Choose your method

EOY Letter Template

  • Send to your entire team (anyone who has ever given + prayer partners). Snail mail is most effective, with a copy sent a few weeks later via email as a soft follow-up.
  • Then pick 20-40 to engage one-on-one. 
  • Consider including a ministry magnet in the mailing (for your 20-40 or all).
