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?

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%.

How Much Land & Building

Capital CampaignHow much can we expect…
