Description
Summary:Religious organizations, particularly in the Philippines, face financial challenges and require effective resource mobilization strategies to ensure sustainability. This study investigates donor relations and income diversification strategies within a Philippine diocese, examining funding policies, relationship management, donor influence, and income generation to address financial sustainability challenges faced by religious organizations. It analyzes these strategies through a descriptive-comparative design, utilizing data from 128 clergy and Parish Pastoral Council members. Findings reveal significant differences in perceptions between these groups regarding donor relations and income diversification, highlighting the need for collaborative approaches to financial management. This research contributes to understanding resource mobilization in religious organizations and offers practical insights for enhancing financial stability and autonomy.
