One of 76 basilicas in the United States, the leaders of St. James Basilica in Jamestown, North Dakota, hired the Steier Group to design and implement a campaign for campus improvements. The campaign’s goal was to build a new rectory and community center, and renovate office space. Initially, there was reluctance from parishioners who believed the center was an unnecessary component of the campaign. A strong public relations effort addressed this obstacle. In addition to an effective communications plan, strong leadership and adherence to the Steier Group model played a large part in the success of St. James Basilica capital campaign.
“Thanks to the combination of donor evaluation, volunteer recruitment and concise communications, the benefits of the Steier Group's approach to fundraising was realized.”
Very Rev. Al Blitz, Pastor, St. James Basilica of Jamestown
