Campaign Date:  2001-2002

 

This capital campaign was conducted to secure funds to extensively renovate and expand their animal shelter.  The campaign goal was set at $2.8 million.  In excess of $2.4 million in pledges and donations to date.  Efforts are being continued to secure the remaining $400,000.

 

My responsibility as Senior Project Manager was to conduct all phases of the campaign including Project Development, Leadership Solicitation and Community Phase activities.  A lead gift of $1 million plus additional land was secured from Warren County.

 

The newly expanded and renovated facility celebreated its grand opening durng the summer of 2004.

 

“I had the opportunity to work with Mark during our very successful expansion and renovation campaign.  His knowledge of the campaign process, attention to detail and consistent delivery of our message allowed us to achieve a level of success far greater than we could have ever imagined.  He displayed a level of personal insight and professional integrity that is uncommon in today’s world of inflated promises.  I would encourage any organization considering a capital campaign to contact him.”
