Why is planning so important?
- Our Christian churches are some of the most beautiful, architecturally magnificent and important buildings in our country.
- The cost to maintain and sustain the amazing work that happens within these buildings is often much larger than the means of the congregation and groups that meet there.
- So how do you even start to plan for a major capital appeal? And what are the crucial things you need to do, know and understand before you even start to fundraise?
