To our Valued Clients and Friends,
During this season of uncertainty and rapid change, our
Total Advancement Solutions team at Generis is carefully monitoring all factors which impact your ability to raise resources for your Christian organization.
Because we serve a wide variety of clients—from higher education to K-12 schools to Christian ministries—it is difficult to create a one-size-fits-all response. Suffice it to say, in this case, as in everything, we want to serve our clients and potential clients with utmost care for your needs. We will honor your precautions in this rather unprecedented time. As all of America is finding out, a lot can be accomplished through video conference and phone communication, keeping our projects moving forward even in these perilous times.
We are finding that givers are not shutting down. They care as deeply, maybe more so, about the financial and spiritual well-being of your ministry, than ever. I’ve just concluded 3 days and 12 interviews with some remarkable givers. They are not paralyzed by the genuine concern about the virus or the attending turmoil in the markets.
That said, it will take above-and-beyond creativity, planning, and new strategies to engage with your givers in the days and weeks ahead. Our gifted Total Advancement Solutions team members can help you craft digital strategies, revise communication plans, and create custom annual giving and campaign solutions for your ministry. There is a great need for God’s people to release God’s resources into the world for the good of the Kingdom, and we can help you accomplish that.
Let’s move forward, cautiously, carefully and prayerfully—together— with what God has put before us. We will look for efficient ways to serve you during this time. Let’s decide together what is best for you in your circumstance and do that. Kingdom values and the well-being of all you love and care for are our utmost concern. Let’s keep talking and adapting to the changing conditions before us.
Yours for Christ’s Kingdom,
Mark Dillon, PhD, Executive Vice President
