Donors want personal relationship
by Susan Gingerich, Perkasie, Pa.I am concerned to read of the MC USA Executive Board’s latest actions regarding their concept for fund-raising. Denominationally we have tried several unified giving plans in the last 25 years. I wonder if another unified plan will produce different results. Donors like to see how their money is being used to make a difference in people’s lives. Donors respond passionately for ministries where there is a personal relationship with them.
