  8. 20/40 Rule • A general healthy practice is to have financial support spread out over the entire membership. • What percentage of the budget do the top 20% of your families provide in their gifts? • Does this exceed 40%? How dependant is your future ministry based on the few?

  9. How Much Budget… • See demographics “Household by Income” • Take the Median or Average Income per Household $ amount x 2-3% x the number of families in the congregation. This will give a generic idea for how much budget the congregation can afford. • For illustration purposes take the above info and multiply x 5%, 7%, and 10%.

  10. How Much Land & Building • LCEF exists to assist congregations in the purchase of land and building programs. The congregation will however have to provide information stating how they will repay the loan. • $½ million will cost around $2700 per month

  11. Capital CampaignHow much can we expect… • See demographics under Households by Income. • Take the average or median income x 5% x the number of families which will pledge over 3-5 years. This will give you a reasonable idea of what you can expect to raise.

  12. Excel Budget • Budget by areas • Membership giving by attendee or family • Loan Calculator • Five Year Tracking Projection
