Here are some short paragraphs and images you can use in your church bulletin to introduce Broadview, remind subscribers to renew, or invite gift subscriptions and donations. Please cut and paste — or edit and adapt as needed!
Broadview also sends out a “Coming Soon” email to Reps, in advance of each issue. The email includes the upcoming cover and a short summary of the stories in our next issue — as well as information relevant to your work as a volunteer Rep. The stories and covers from here can be used on your website or in the bulletin. To sign up for “Coming Soon” please email Sharon Doran at promote@broadview.org.

To order a Broadview gift subscription, go to broadview.org/giftsubs or phone 1-866-807-5515.
Encourage donations
Broadview staff work hard to attract revenue from subscriptions, advertising and various grants to support the award-winning journalism produced in the magazine and online. But these revenue sources don’t cover all of its costs. That’s why Broadview also relies on the generosity of donors to support its mission — to be a strong voice for progressive Christianity in Canada.
When you give to the Friends of Broadview Fund, you help to ensure the ongoing health of the magazine and its digital platforms now and for future generations. Your money will be used to strengthen our current subscriber base and to undertake initiatives to engage new generations of readers both in print and online.
To make a tax-receiptable donation to Broadview, please visit Broadview.org/donate or phone 1-866-807-5515.
