Core Capital Campaigns impact a community beyond just fundraising. Our consultants know how to motivate leaders and volunteers and equip them to be successful. A clearer common vision emerges from the campaign process.
Here’s what our clients have to say:
"Rebuilding our cathedral's historic organ required a robust capital campaign. Our consultant provided expert fundraising counsel that helped us raise money on two continents and exceed goal. His experience was coupled with strong relationship, networking and organizational skills. Available whenever needed, he confidently navigated us through leadership transitions and unexpected challenges. By God's grace, the result was a resoundingly successful campaign."

"Having an experienced consultant to provide the expertise and support we needed made all the difference and we exceeded our campaign goal. Our consultant offered proven fundraising strategies and a spiritually grounded process tailored to our needs. As a parish we grew closer, stronger, and more committed to Christ as a result."
The Rev. Adrian Dannhauser, Rector
Church of the Incarnation, New York City
"Our consultant was an outstanding partner—and leader!—for our campaign. The consultant’s experience, personality and the process all helped ensure we had a successful and uplifting result. This was particularly important as our church had lived through an unsuccessful campaign a decade earlier. Our work together was an excellent investment and a very positive experience."
Jim Barker, Campaign Chair

"The fundraising plan we created and implemented with our consultant was tailored to our needs, spiritually focused and driven by our vision to grow the mission and ministries of our monastic community. The campaign materials seamlessly integrated video, online and print materials to reach out to our many geographically dispersed supporters. The result was an outpouring of gifts and pledges that met our campaign's financial goal (and more), renewed relationships and added new friends and donors."
