The Best Times to Hire A Financial Consultant
September 15, 2007
From the book Beyond Fundraising, A Complete Guide to Congregational Stewardship, by Wayne Clark, the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA's) director for Congregational Stewardship Services. (2007, $18, #4915, UUA Bookstore)There are some specific situations in which a fundraising consultant is helpful to a congregation. Consider hiring a consultant when:
- The congregation lacks a clear vision.
- Help is needed to create a culture shift from a myth of scarcity to the reality of abundance.
- Few congregants have been willing to work on a fundraising effort or assume leadership roles.
- No one has experience as a fundraiser for religious institutions.
- There is conflict about which fundraising method to use.
