You
Can Raise up to 12 Times Your Present Giving for Renovations or New Facilities We can enable you to raise far more funds per campaign, at lower costs per dollar raised, than other firms. Many of the churches we have worked with have set church fundraising records. We provide a no-pressure pastoral approach to fund-raising that unites a congregation and raises faith as well as funds. Churches comment that our services were worth the cost just for the growth in faith that occurs. We approach this calling as a ministry, and are happy to provide these services in the most cost-effective manner. "In my forty years in the ministry I have been involved in several campaigns where we have employed the services of our own denominational consultants, as well as professional fund-raising corporations. I'm glad I've been in the ministry long enough to say my last was by far the best! I am especially grateful for the spiritual base upon which every phase of your instruction guided us. Your regular and consistent contact with the leadership, always open to consultation and questions, made this a campaign that was truly led by laity with the pastor in a supporting and motivational role."
Rev. Al Hubler "Bill VanderWyden was a great source of insight and encouragement to our congregation during our major capital funds campaign. On Celebration Sunday we not only had necessary commitments to refurbish our sanctuary and restore our organ, but also to make a generous gift to the endowment of a retirement home. During our campaign Bill was much more than a consultant to our congregation; he became a caring pastor, a trusted colleague, and a good friend." (comments on a campaign conducted previously, when Rev. Thomas was a local church Pastor) Rev. John H. Thomas "Thank you for the leadership and sensitive sense of stewardship. Together we have rejoiced in our Building With Christ. It has resulted in both the doubling of our physical space and the addition of a second ordained person to our pastoral staff. May God continue to bless your work and ministry." Pastor Bob Springer "St. Mark's had an outstanding experience with VanderWyden Consultants. We ultimately raised $1,300,000, 10.8 times our pledged income of $120,000 that year... We're grateful for the astute, thoroughly biblical and spiritually sensitive counsel we received from VanderWyden Consultants every step of the way." The Rev. John M. Miller, Jr. Rector "Though VanderWyden Consultants provides a complete, well-tested capital campaign strategy, we found our consultant to be very accommodating to our particular community with its particular strengths and challenges. Their process is Biblically based, laced with prayer, and faith-focused. In addition to exceeding our ambitious $3.7 million goal, we experienced the astounding growth that comes when people begin to share what their faith and their church mean to them. We emerged from our campaign a much healthier community because their Joy of Generosity process engages members in the conversation that matters most, our relationship to God." Rev. Richard Allen "VanderWyden Consultants provided the counsel, encouragement and support systems that challenged our vision and ability to raise six times our annual budget. Moreover, the promised gift of a remainder trust, resulting from the capital campaign will increase the total to ten time our annual budget. Our capital campaign with VanderWyden Consultants raised the necessary funds, but more importantly raised our faith even more." Rev. Edward A. Libby "Our congregation was very impressed with the work of Rev. VanderWyden as he helped us to raise over $9 million dollars. He is wise and experienced in the ways of church fund raising. He is approachable, clear, flexible, authentic, and tactful. Best of all he is a person of deep, Biblical faith and that colors all he does. When he talks about "faith raising and not just fund raising" it's more than a cliché. Bill is really top-drawer!" Rev. David C.
