Our fall pledge campaign “Generously Stepping Out in Faith,” featured a call-a-thon on November 9. We contacted over 100 families receiving 87 pledges for a total of $343,518. (Last year we received 81 pledges totaling $368,718.) With estimates for the families who have not yet pledged, the income projection for member giving in 2015 is $465,500.
Last year, 46 families accepted the $300 increased giving challenge and pledged an increased amount of $52,500. The follow-up for 2015 from these same families contains 13 who increased again, 7 who pledged the same amount and 26 families who pledged less. The net amount pledged was a decrease of $46,500.
23 families increased their pledge (12%) and 19 families pledged for 2015 who had not pledged for 2014 (11%). 91 families did not pledge (51%); 24 families pledged the same amount (13%); and 21 families decreased their pledge (12%). These results indicate that 136 Zion families are in “neutral” in their giving (76%).
Council will use this income projection when we vote on the 2015 budget on December 14. Please attend this meeting.
