For Your Next INC Giving Project
5 Steps to Planning INC Giving Projects
- Check out INCGIVING.ORG for ideas, tools, and examples for your upcoming event.
- Under “TOOLS,” find graphics you need to print t-shirts, cards, banners and posters for the various events, INC Giving Cards to hand out, an information one-sheet to help introduce the projects, and graphics to share on social media.
- Print INC Giving T-Shirts & Cards
- Let the INC Giving logo be your conversation starter. Every INC Giving T-shirt & INC Giving Card has the INC Giving logo for recognition and the website to give people something to look up after meeting INC Giving volunteers.
- Download other branding and marketing materials, including the INC Giving cards, here: https://incgiving.org/tools
- Plan In Advance
- Review the guidelines (See below for the full list) for the mechanics of the events
- Check out incgiving.org to watch stories from INC Giving and read blogs as examples of what you can do!
- Determine how to make a difference in the community. Contact community organizations for volunteer opportunities and ask what they need help with.
- Submit your Activity Request two months in advance.
- Review the guidelines (See below for the full list) for the mechanics of the events
- Promote It Early
- Create a signup sheet for those interested in volunteering: Invite Bible students, guests, and friends and encourage everyone to bring a friend. Have extra INC Giving t-shirts available for guests who want to volunteer with you so they don’t feel left out.
- Depending on the event, promote the event as an opportunity for others to sign up as volunteers of (if applicable) recipients of the service you’re offering.
- Use social media and community calendars like Meetup.com, Facebook, NextDoor, and Eventbrite to promote events.
- Document the Event
- Coverage
- Get permission! Some organizations (like hospitals, senior centers, etc) may have restrictions on filming and photographs. Find out in advance and get a photo/filming release form signed.
- Coordinate coverage of the event with your District Multimedia Bureau.
- You can submit your vlog from the event if you don’t have a District Multimedia Bureau. Check out the documentation guidelines.
- Social Media
- Post your pictures on personal social media using hashtags #incgiving #iglesianicristo. Tag the INC Giving IG account and the organization you’re working with.
- Pictures can also be posted on local congregation bulletin boards.
- Coverage
One more thing: always plan your next activity, so you and your fellow volunteers always have something to look forward to.
