Campaigns Without Walls

Presentation at PSI, International Conference for Adventist Fundraisers

One of my clients, John Korb of Adventist Medical Center, and I just presented this session about raising $6.2 endowing the chaplains at John's hospital. We raised $6 million of endowment through a combination of 5-year pledges and planned estate gifts.

This case history of major gifts fundraising without a building to use as a focal point was challenging. But, also highly rewarding as the chaplains were so essential to the mission of the hospital. We had great responses from physician giving; established a cumulative major gifts society at $25,000 and a planned estate giving society. Both of these giving clubs will be used in the future.
