Much like homes or businesses, churches have ongoing financial commitments to worry about: heating and cooling, electricity, water, maintenance, and so on. That is on top of the church’s mission to contribute financially to local, national, and international organizations and charities. As you can imagine, this all adds up, which is why churches rely on donations to help cover these financial commitments. And parishioners rely on Church Offering Envelopes to better track their donations for tax purposes.
The Importance of Church Offering Envelopes
An Oldie but a Goodie
Even in today’s technology-driven age, church offering envelopes still play an integral role in attaining contributions and sustained giving from parishioners.
Help Parishioners Track Donations
Come tax season, it is important for parishioners to be able to track their charitable donations. Church offering envelopes allow churches to record donations and send parishioners annual receipts in order for them to claim these deductions on their taxes.
Most churches retain the envelopes as physical donation records to comply with IRS laws.
Convenience
The use of church offering envelopes allows churches to mail these envelopes to parishioners in advance. This helps serve as a reminder to donate at the upcoming service (No more, “Oh, I forgot to grab cash!”). Plus, including a mail-back option allows members to give even when they are not physically present.
All in all, surveys show that mailed envelopes generate increased contributions of about 18%.
Visually Pleasing Envelopes Encourage Giving
A well-designed, visually pleasing envelope helps convey the church’s mission, grab people’s attention, and encouraging giving.
And More!
Shouldn’t you have the option of designing your own church offering envelopes? No one knows what your church needs more than you do.
