Since 2004, Faith Direct has led the Catholic community in eGiving best practices. Their program has helped parishes and dioceses raise a billion dollars in a secure way. The Faith Direct approach continues to demonstrate that successful eGiving requires not just the implementation of a program, but a sustained effort to encourage parishioners to use it
for their giving. Their full platform – including a smartphone app, customized email, direct mail, and social media integration – is inspiring the conversion of thousands of envelope users to eGiving. Parishes are discovering that their simple, flat-fee pricing model makes them the most cost-effective choice for eGiving. New innovations will continue the
Faith Direct tradition of providing a full-service approach to electronic giving.

ICSC Prayer

Gracious and loving God,
We gather in Your name,
to draw from a wellspring
of wisdom that will enrich
our lives and the lives
of those we love and serve.

Through this networking,
sharing of ideas and
discernment though,
lift us up!
Open our eyes!

Lead us into an encounter
with your Son,
on higher ground
where we will be drawn to
moments of epiphany,
deeper self-awareness
and profound grace.

In these times of uncertainty
and stress do not abandon us,
but pour out Your Spirit upon us
so that its power becomes our power.

Make us good stewards of what
we take away from here.
And inspire us
to proclaim the Gospel without shame,
offer hope to others
and give glory to You in every
word we speak and action we take.

We pray this through your Son,
Jesus Christ, Our Lord,
who lives and reigns with You and
the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Is Your Foundation Built on Christ? A Spirituality of Diocesan and Foundation Fundraising

2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Foundations carry great authority in (arch)dioceses by helping build gratitude and generosity for the faithful while bringing the mission of the Church alive through philanthropy. With some foundations removed from the daily life and the spiritual guidance of their diocese, it can be a challenge to keep focused on our deepest mission of strengthening the body of Christ while serving the mission of our foundations. What is a Catholic foundation’s role in building the spiritual life of the community? Jump into the conversation as we look back at our fundraising roots from the great fundraiser St. Paul and talk through how this impacts our role today as development professionals. Come learn together how our spiritual calling can inform our foundations to help lead the Church with vision and hope.
