The Rev. J. Howard Cepelak

Klote Associates has done and continues to do excellent job at Redeemer. The superbly organized and executed pre-campaign in which over 2/3rds of the total funding was raised set the tone of success for the rest of the project. The kick-off dinner – again beautifully organized and presented – demonstrated the level of commitment and enthusiasm of this congregation for the project.  Without a doubt, Klote & Associates knows how to do a thoroughly professional job resulting in great success.

 

The consultant has fully integrated himself into the life and worship of this parish. Focused and efficient, he keeps all of us working on the project on track.  The members of this church see him as a friend and the campaign workers seek and appreciate his excellent leadership. None of us is a professional fundraiser. The consultant is teaching us how to do the job properly, overcoming objections, using a variety of approaches to difficult people and getting positive results. He is especially adept in discerning individual’s gifts and talents and using those gifts and talents in this multi-dimensional project. We enjoy working with him and value his abilities. He is a great blessing to us and to this congregation.  This is a long-term campaign. All of us working on it look forward to continued success.
