Learn To Be All Inclusive


The winter holiday season is permeated with feelings of peace on earth and the desire to help others. It is this time of year that people are more willing than ever to share their time and their money to help out a good cause.

While the winter holidays is the time of giving, it is also the time of many religious holidays which has to be considered in your communications.

According to a 2007 report by the Pew Research Center, 16.1% of the US population are not affiliated with any religion; Americans who are members of any Protestant denomination make up 51%. Fewer than 25% of the US population describes themselves as Catholic; Jews made up 1.7%; Buddhists 0.7%; Muslims 0.6%; other religions and unknown made approximately 5%

While you may have your own religious preference, the recipients of your fundraising communications may not share that preference. One way to include everyone in your winter fundraising efforts is to give other religions equal mention while also acknowledging those who do not celebrate religious holidays. Without this inclusiveness, it is easy for a topic such as religion to come between people.

Sure, not everyone may care about if their religion isn’t represented, but if it were, there might be more of a willingness to give – or give more.

Your goal is to further your cause, and including all others allows you to make everyone feel welcome to give. This concept of inclusion can carry over into any fundraising events where you might have holiday decorations as part of your decor, which means you’d have to make sure that others are also represented.
