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.

"We did substantially better than we have done on any of our many other previous campaigns."Our James D. Klote & Associate campaign consultant did an excellent job keeping us organized and focused on contacting every member to encourage their participation in the campaign. We did substantially better than we have done on any of our many other previous campaigns. I believe the personal visits will have the effect of increasing the level of capital giving by our congregants in the long-term. Thank you for your excellent service. It has been a pleasure and a blessing working with you.
