The whole Klote organization is trustworthy and utilized techniques that are of the utmost ethical benchmarks. For Faith Lutheran Church, Sarasota, our capital stewardship has been seen as a ministry, and James D. Klote and Associates offered the professionalism and expertise to be our true partners in this ministry. They have invested themselves in our campaign in every way, blessing our parishioners with their joyful presence. Gracious enthusiasm coupled with time tested methods made our campaign a success even before we began. I wholeheartedly recommend them as a capital stewardship firm without peer.

Carmel Lutheran Church kicked off its ‘Hearts Compelled To Share’ capital campaign in record style. As of January 25th just 73 families of the more than 900 in the church had already committed $3.75 million dollars. That total represents not only the best kickoff to a campaign at CLC, it also represents the best campaign in total even though only 8% of the congregation has pledged so far.
The previous best campaign was just four years ago when CLC collected a total of about $3 million in pledges from over 425 donors.
