The Problem
The percentage the average Christian donates has remained unchanged for 50 years. It sits around 3%, whether the economy is good or bad.
5% of church attendees account for 60% of the giving, 50% account for 1% of the giving, and 20% give nothing.
In the ’50s, 49% of Americans attended church weekly. In the early 2000s, that number was 42%. Now it is 29% - and churches face 10-15% churn.
These are the facts of church finance- and they make it hard to fund new ministries. Pastors speak on giving, use new engagement tools and make programmatic changes. Giving remains the same. Which leaves only two solutions- grow the congregation and/or foster transformational giving.

Transformational gifting cultivates large donations that create an impact. These legacy-sized gifts help to launch programs, build facilities and create endowments. What could your church do with a transformational gift?
Mission Gifting can help. There are about 85 million families in the U.S. 5% operate a business doing more than $1 million in revenue. 5% of those already tithe to a church. 1 of 7 businesses sell each year.
Annually, that's 30,000 businesses owned by Christian tithers who - with some stewardship - could make a transformational sized gift to church ministry.
