For the Greater, and our campaign specialists, lead faith based capital campaigns, raising funds for new construction, renovation, expansion, debt reduction, endowment and other special needs.
Based in scripture, with a firm foundation in prayer, a For the Greater campaign extends beyond just a “major gifts” effort. We engage parishioners and encourage campaign involvement with the use of each person’s particular talents or skill set. “Building Community” is perhaps the most important byproduct of our campaigns – a component that will benefit your church long after the campaign is complete.
Our faith based approach includes the most extensive and effective campaign services. From building your Case for Support to directing the pledge collection process, we provide a hands-on, personal approach throughout a campaign.
If you’re ready to strengthen your parish bonds and grow together spiritually, all while raising the funds your parish needs, please contact us. We’d love to take that journey with you!

Our Keys to success
LEADERSHIP
Strong leadership is imperative for campaign success; leadership from the pastor and equally important, leadership from parishioners. In our process we identify, recruit and train leaders for every phase of your campaign. Many future parish leaders will emerge in a For the Greater campaign.
SPIRITUALITY
Just as Christ is at the center of your parish, spirituality should be at the forefront of your campaign. In discerning God’s will, embracing our faith is paramount. Our campaigns, based in scripture with a firm foundation in prayer, will embrace your vision and strengthen your spiritual resolve.
VISION
When a church has a powerful vision in which many are involved, God will bless and use their efforts. Our campaigns strive to build consensus. We provide the forums where parishioners have the opportunity to be heard and ask questions about the project and campaign. Long before Commitment Sunday, the majority of your parish will embrace a shared vision.
Community Building
Whether meeting new parishioners or reconnecting with old friends, our community building process brings a parish closer together. Our team approach embraces the skill sets, passions and strengths of each person. With seven unique teams, it encourages each parishioner to use their God given talents to promote your project and campaign.
Commitment to detail
Even the most organized parish staff can be overwhelmed by the details of a capital campaign. At For the Greater, we pay attention to campaign details. Some include: event planning, multi-media, writing copy, training leaders and volunteers, dealing with printers and graphic designers, scheduling, thanking parishioners and more. We build a campaign calendar and commit to a schedule.
follow through
Campaigns do not end with pledge commitments, they just begin. It’s imperative to follow through with each parish household making a pledge. Campaign/project updates need to be included with pledge statements and detailed in parish literature. For the Greater creates a pledge collection process for every campaign. We maintain contact and are available for any campaign issue throughout the pledge period.
