The Church

Even though fundraising has been part of the religious practices of the Church since its inception, its development over the centuries has led to the adoption of several fundraising strategies, which has led to overdependence on the congregation as the main source of funding. This situation has created fatigue in giving among a section of the congregation and its attendant complaints. Consequently, calls have been made for the Church in Ghana to wean itself from the traditional sources of generating funds and look for alternative sources of funding its activities. It is against this backdrop that this paper provides an alternative mean that the Church can use to wean itself from the traditional system of generating funds and thus be receptive to a more sustainable system of funds generation, which is the Nehemiah fundraising model. This research was done through primary and secondary sources and it became known that the adoption of Nehemiah’s fundraising model must be guided by certain principles. The application of Nehemiah’s model would aid the Church not only generate funds to meet its ever-increasing demands, but it would also reduce, to some extent, the Church’s dependence syndrome on the traditional system.

Biblical Principles

This article discusses the ways in which “newly called prophets” begin and sustain ministry activities. It argues that among the various ways “newly called prophets” use to raise the needed funds to begin ministry is a bare-foot ministry in public places. It also posits that charging consultation fees as a requirement to receiving the services of a prophet, selling “anointing oil”, relics, and prophylactics to aid miracles for seekers, and as means of mobilizing funds to sustain ministry activities in the media lack effective biblical support. Even though money is a critical resource in mission and church life, the means that are used to mobilize funds from the congregants must not be oppressive. The study employed a narrative historical analytical approach towards the discussion of issues. It is recommended that contemporary prophets must adapt good biblical principles and fundraising strategies that do not over-burden congregants/donors.

Other Regarding

As government welfare programming contracts and NGOs increasingly assume core aid functions, they must address a long-standing challenge—that people in need often belong to stigmatized groups. To study other-regarding behavior, we fielded an experiment through a text-to-give campaign in Greece. Donations did not increase with an appeal to the in-group (Greek child) relative to a control (child), but they were halved with reference to a stigmatized out-group (Roma child). An appeal to fundamental rights, a common advocacy strategy, did not reduce the generosity gap. Donations to all groups were lower near Roma communities and declined disproportionately for the Roma appeal. Qualitative research in 12 communities complements our experiment. We conclude that NGO fundraising strategies that narrowly emphasize either in-groups or out-groups, or fundamental rights language, may not be as effective as broader appeals, and we discuss implications for public goods provision in an era of growing nationalism.
