What is “development”?
“Development, ultimately, is
the means of enabling donors
to realize the fulfillment of their philanthropic dreams
of helping create a society
that reflects their most deeply held values.”
Karla A. Williams Donor Focused Strategies for Annual Giving
The Benedictine sisters’
ministry of development is focused on promoting the mission, membership and
ministries of the monastery and raising the funds
necessary to do the job well.
The development office focuses on four
areas:
telling the story of the monastery
inviting others to participate in the
ministries of the monastery by making a financial commitment
showing gratitude and appreciation to
the donors
keeping donors informed of the use of
their gifts.
