Overview
Every church faces the issue of how to create more revenue to cover the cost of important ministries or major expenses; one way churches do this is through fundraisers. However, fundraising events can create new liabilities for churches. For instance, if you host a car wash, who's liable if a patron's car gets scratched? Or if you host a church carnival, how do you protect your church from the liability of providing rides like a Ferris wheel or Tilt-a-Whirl. Learn what liabilities may be involved in fundraising activities and how to protect your church from these liabilities. Also, discover if it makes sense for your church to hire a professional fundraising company.
