As we at Old Donation are finishing up the visitation phase of our capital campaign I wanted to share how much we appreciated the outstanding support given us by James D. Klote & Associates. With the able assistance, guidance and indefatigable effort of our Campaign Director, we were able to raise more than $3 million, which is about 4.5 times our average annual pledge (and we are not done yet). I firmly believe the success of our campaign is due primarily to having our campaign Director working full time on site where his wise counsel was critical. In addition to sharing his wealth of knowledge of fundraising in a church environment, he served as mentor, motivator, and when necessary offered firm direction to keep us moving forward. I cannot imagine any church trying to conduct a major fund drive without the guidance of an onsite consultant. Having one as capable as ours was just ‘icing on the cake.’
Thank you for helping us on our journey of turning our future dreams into reality. With this successful Capital Campaign, we are well on our way to accomplish our stated goal of “Faithfully Preserving our Heritage & Building our Future.”
