Happy New Year from all the staff here at CSS! As a new year begins we look forward to what the Lord has in store for us in 2022 and also thank him for what he has brought us through. The pandemic is not over but we are confident that the Lord will continue to guide and protect us.

Although the past 2 years have been difficult, we have seen the blessings upon CSS in the midst of it all. We have grown tremendously in the past 2 years and have implemented new ways to help our clients with MemberNet, new staff and a brand new website! All these items where once on our new years resolution list, but with proper planning and great team work they have become a reality. A New Year always brings about new plans and resolutions. Over the years we have discovered that connecting with donors is always on the top of our list and yours! 

Here are 3 tips to leverage your CSS PARTNERSHIP with your DONORS!

•  Donors love MemberNet!  We have received an enormous amount of positive feedback about those who are using MemberNET.  Donors can provide gifts directly to your charity with a one time or a recurring donation online within a few clicks! This is a fast and efficient way for donors to impact the Kingdom! We have noticed that many seniors are up to speed with donating online and even prefer this option. Reach out to your donors about giving online, you will be surprised how your donors thank you!

• Focus on gift planning! It is super important to constantly remind your donors about gift planning! So many of your donors want to give to your organization but not everyone knows the different ways of giving.  CSS can help  them by creating gifting plans which takes advantage of the latest tax strategies and gifting options. CSS has over 45 years of experience with gift planning and our our knowledgeable consultants will lead them in the right direction. Remind your donors that your organization’s partnership with CSS provides these services to them without cost! Click HERE to discover more about gift planning with CSS.

• The Donor Advised Fund – Simple, flexible and most popular! This giving tool is easy and convenient.  With a CSS Donor Advised fund, your donors can make their gift today, get a receipt today, and delay the distribution of the funds to their charities at a later time. The DAF has become our ‘Swiss army knife’ of planned giving with its variety of uses.

Isaiah 43:19 shows us that The Lord will prosper us even in the desert if we just trust in him. We are excited to see what is in store this new year as we continue to work and grow together. Have a blessed 2022!!
