St. Leonard Parish in Muskego, Wisconsin, partnered with the Steier Group to lead its campaign planning study and subsequent capital campaign. The Growing With God capital campaign sought to raise funds to maintain and update current facilities, build a new parish center and enhance the worship experience by adding a new sound system and organ to the worship space. The Steier Group ensured that the St. Leonard leadership team was well informed, prepared and clear in its objectives, providing for a fruitful fundraising campaign. St. Leonard opened its beautiful new parish center in 2017.

Since its founding more than 40 years ago, St. Timothy Catholic Church and School in Mesa, Arizona, has been an example to other parishes of how to evangelize and build community. St. Timothy’s knew that facility upgrades were needed for the parish to remain strong in its mission. The parish partnered with the Steier Group on a combined capital campaign to secure funding supporting both the Diocese of Phoenix capital campaign and St. Timothy’s needs, which included elevator, school and security upgrades. The Steier Group’s personal approach to fundraising focused on establishing specific requests for all prospects. St. Timothy’s leaders recruited a diverse and robust group of volunteers who secured pledges and played important roles in strategic planning and other aspects of the campaign. In addition, the campaign conducted a successful Commitment Weekend effort, receiving 280 pledges and raising $715,000 in one weekend alone. A comprehensive communications plan also helped the parish carry out a successful campaign that raised $4.5 million, positioning St. Timothy’s for success, not just for today, but generations to come.
