I wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience it has been working with the consultant regarding the planning and preparing for our upcoming Capital Campaign. He is very easy to work with “ he is extremely organized, always pleasant, always willing to work as a team and he has a knack for getting everyone excited about the campaign process! His experience has been a great help to me in his suggestions for the most efficient way to keep track of pledging information, etc. On the other hand, he’s always willing to listen to new ideas and to assure me that whatever works best for me, is fine with him. If asked, I would highly recommend the consultant and your firm to others looking to begin this process.

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.
