Church property insurer Ecclesiastical Insurance is offering cash prizes for the
12 most innovative church fundraising ideas.
The competition is open to churches
of all denominations. Ecclesiastical is offering a first prize of £1,500 and second
and third prizes of £750 and £500 respectively. Nine runners up will receive £100
each.

The 12 finalists will also be featured in Ecclesiastical’s 2008 calendar. As a result
the best ideas will be promoted nationwide.

To enter the competition, churches must explain what they are raising funds for,
how they have organised a fundraising team, and what unusual ideas they have used
to attract interest and support from the local community.
