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.

"The assistance that you personally gave us along with your staff members really made the difference in our ongoing campaign."I would like to say thank you for the assistance of your organization during our capital campaign. As you know, we started our campaign as the economy began its down turn. The assistance that you personally gave us along with your staff members really made the difference in our ongoing campaign. We really do want our project to come to reality and you have helped us in so many different ways to organize our programs and directions so that we will find success. With your help we have made it possible to receive pledges to begin the process towards completion. We know because of the General Motors and government problems our program will now need to be extended a couple more years. However, because of your training our campaign committee meet monthly and are still active and making a positive result.
