Nearing its 100th anniversary, St. Mary’s Parish and School leaders in Bellevue, Nebraska, knew that now would be the perfect time to honor the past while planning for the future with a capital campaign. The church and school building had served the community well but had not seen updates in many years. Cardinal Blasé Cupich, in the 1980s, was pastor when the interior of the church was last updated. Goals for the Building for the Future on the Foundation of the Past Capital Campaign were preserving the stained glass, replacing the boiler and HVAC, renovating campus restrooms, expanding the narthex, updating the church and parish center, and reducing debt. Led by involved campaign chairs and other parish leadership, the community rallied around these goals to exceed the Steier Group’s projection.
“Your associates who walked with us on this journey - my first ever campaign effort - truly deserve much praise and gratitude for going above and beyond in their efforts. ... They were most helpful in guiding everyone through the process of conducting a campaign of this size.”
Fr. Del Lape, Pastor, St. Mary's Church

We founded our firm on the belief that the best capital campaign is one that is customized and executed by one team, under one roof. When you hire the Steier Group, you eliminate the need to contract with additional vendors for services like copywriting, graphic design, grant writing, video production, website development or wealth screening. We reject the one-size-fits-all approach to fundraising and embrace every opportunity to design a capital campaign plan that will maximize our client’s fundraising potential.
