Why host a fundraising event?

 

Community

Fundraising events help bring people together; they offer a chance to celebrate and develop the sense of community in your church; they draw folk together from the wider neighbourhood; they create a ‘buzz’.

 

Mission

A big parish event provides an opportunity to help share your vision of mission – to inform the church community about a particular partnership link or inspire them about global mission more generally. You could even invite a CMSI speaker to come along.

 

Fundraising

CMSI needs to increase support for its Mission Resource Fund. We’re immensely grateful for – and reliant upon – the annual disbursements from churches towards this fund. A community event is a great way to raise additional funds for CMSI from your parishioners, without drawing more from church funds.
