As our campaign with the consultant here is drawing to a close, I just wanted to stop and tell you how much he has helped us in moving forward with our fundraising. He hit the ground running and got very involved from day one. Whether it was attending staff meetings, church services on Sunday or Wednesday or whenever he was there. He has been one of us which has been very helpful. His knowledge and expertise of fundraising has been very helpful. He truly has been one of us over the last few months. Thanks to Klote and Associates for sharing him with us.

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.
