One of the most commonly asked
questions is why hire a professional firm to help the church with
authentic stewardship, or perhaps a campaign more clearly focused on
major fundraising, or even a project that encompasses both?
The main answer is
that our firm is simply a resource of people with vast experience in
planning, strategy, communications, organization and in obtaining
measurable results. We have faced the challenges in numerous
circumstances and we know what works, what does not and why.
Objectivity is
also one of the most important reasons to hire a firm. We have no history
with your people, we have no preconceived ideas about your strengths
and weakness and therefore are not prejudiced for or against any
aspects of your ministry. We review your resources, organize your
volunteers if necessary and implement plans to achieve and exceed
your goals.
Retaining the firm also keeps
projects on track. Well-meaning volunteers often bring significant
talent and experience to a project but not necessarily the exact
expertise you need. They often have other jobs and family
responsibilities. When you retain Hope Associates, your project
becomes our job and we help organize and motivate your talented
volunteers to maximize results for the church.
Just as you might
hire a professional architect, builder, or lawyer in situations
where success is critical, it usually makes sense to retain
professionals to assist and guide you with critical communications
or fundraising needs. |
