St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and School in Spring Green, Wisconsin, began 150 years ago with just a few faithful families. Now it has 450 families in its vibrant parish community. Though the parish is thriving, its buildings required upgrades. The parish teamed with the Steier Group on the Preserve Our Past, Build Our Future Capital Campaign. The Steier Group ran the campaign in tandem with one for St. Luke Catholic Church, which is 8 miles away and served by the same pastor. Though they share a priest, each parish has its own character, community and project needs. St. John the Evangelist’s essential projects included renovating the interior and exterior, addressing deferred maintenance and growing the endowment. The Steier Group tackled both campaigns using its trusted strategies such as a personal approach to fundraising, but adapted them as necessary to fit each client’s specific needs. The firm delivered success for both parishes. That enabled St. John the Evangelist to fund its projects and continue on its strong path.
“We can make needed improvements to our aging campus buildings because of the Steier Group. I am pleased to have made the decision to partner with them for all three parishes. The first, second and third time with the Steier Group were all a charm. I would highly recommend them to any diocese or parish considering a capital campaign.”
Fr. John Silva, Pastor

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.
