St. Julian of Norwich Episcopal Church, Round Rock, TX completed a Capital Campaign that raised 4-5 times our annual giving and that exceeded our stated goal by over 12%. We believe Klote’s philosophy of including the whole congregation in the feasibility study using focus groups and commitment to one on one meetings with every family or individual member of the church produced such a successful result. Everyone in our church felt well informed, prepared to participate, and entirely included. We are grateful to have worked with our Klote consultant and Klote on this successful campaign and are already moving forward with our building campaign.

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.
