Parish Capital Campaigns: Good Fundamentals are the Key to Success Session 1

Many parish capital drives are won or loss before the campaign is ever launched. Learn what to do and what not to do to insure that your capital improvement program leads to the only kind of campaign your parish should ever undertake and that is a successful one that enhances ministry. Bring your vision; be prepared to share where you are as a parish and where you believe you are being called in terms of buildings and facilities. Glenn Holliman, Vice President of Giving Services and Anne Ditzler, Assistant Director of Giving Services, Episcopal Church Foundation

Learn the basic organization structure of a campaign, job descriptions, material needs and a sample calendar of what has to happen and when. Hear how other parishes have addressed challenges and overcome them, leading to capital campaigns that have improved the delivery of ministries.
