This was the most thorough stewardship campaign we have ever conducted and the results have been rewarding in many ways."
Rev. Tom Berlin
Floris United Methodist Church Herndon, Virginia

Ranked # 1 in Nationwide Church Survey

A recent study of over 1,000 churches across the United States who had recently completed capital campaigns revealed that seemingly subtle differences in the ways various churches approached their campaigns yielded startling and significantly different campaign results. The study was conducted in June-July 2010 by Volkart May & Associates, a Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota based marketing and market research firm.

OUR CLIENTS

In any given year, approximately 95 percent of our clients are local churches or church-related campaign efforts. These church-related efforts consist of conferences, diocese, church schools, and other statewide organizations. Nearly 95 percent are either repeat or referrals.

Our clients typically raise an average of 5 times their annual giving, using our method of capital stewardship.

Although a majority of our campaigns are church-related, JDKA takes a serious interest in community campaigns as well. Campaigns for schools, youth sporting activities, United Way member agencies and other philanthropic causes are among prospective clients that our firm serves.
