The Diocese of Winona in Minnesota began a five-year capital campaign in the summer of 2012 to strengthen its priest pension fund, complete renovations at Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary, fund the 2013 annual diocesan appeal and support local parish projects. With the Steier Group’s professional counsel and on-site project management, the diocese was able to overcome a number of challenges, including competing Catholic school fundraising campaigns and a dramatic change in the legal landscape. The Steier Group exceeded the $20 million campaign goal by raising more than $26 million.
“The Steier Group's professional and effective approach to Catholic fundraising coupled with their team of campaign managers, graphic designers, communication specialists and grant writers was the key to success in our diocese.”
Most Rev. John M. Quinn, Bishop of Winona, Diocese of Winona

A Customized Approach
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.
