Running a successful fund-raising campaign is a lot like walking on a tightrope-one false move and everything could come crashing down. But with the right focus, preparation, and resources, along with the willingness to work hard to achieve the goal, churches, church schools, dioceses, and other institutions can make their fiscal visions reality. With Generous Hearts provides professional guidance to help parishes and dioceses avoid the pitfalls and obstacles that project leaders will face, and lays out a cohesive plan for a victorious drive. This expanded edition includes new material on the discernment phase of a campaign, annual stewardship campaigns, raising funds for college chaplaincies, and establishing church planned giving programs.
