Monthly Highlight and Offering

Take up a monthly (or quarterly) offering and commit a part of the service to highlighting the stories of connections made through meeting CarePortal requests. Celebrate what God is doing!

Youth Engagement

Enlist the youth group to tithe every month and put this offering towards your CarePortal participation.

Sponsorship Opportunity

Invite an individual or small group in the congregation to sponsor the church’s participation.

Fundraisers

Host an annual or bi-annual fundraiser (car wash, garage sale, silent auction, 5k, etc.) to raise funds for your church’s participation in CarePortal.

Local Missions Event

Focus on CarePortal as a part of a missions or local missions event, and encourage members to give towards this as a missional focus of the church.

Vacation Bible School

Use CarePortal as your VBS focus ministry — allow kids to collect their offering all week long and celebrate what you’ve collected for kids in your own community at the end of VBS party!
