Four Quick Tips for a Positive Church-Nonprofit Relationship

(Adapted from Starting a Nonprofit at Your Church by Joy Skjegstad, The Alban Institute, 2002.  Used with permission. Obtain this item. ­Note: You will be leaving the FASTEN Web site.­)

2. Negotiate communication “space” for the nonprofit. Use the pulpit, the bulletin, and the Sunday School classroom to educate people about the organization and opportunities for involvement.

3. Maintain positive relationships with key church staff. Involve church leaders as part of an ongoing collaborative effort between the church and the nonprofit.

4. Maintain positive relationships with lay leaders. Individuals with influence in the congregation can affect who gets involved and who stays involved with the nonprofit over time.
