“A capital campaign is one of the most important parts of the growth of any YMCA.  It is also a task that cannot be done solely by the Executive Director, CEO, YMCA staff or volunteers.  Regardless of background or experience, it is critical to have “wise council.”

“ There are many companies that specialize in helping with the Capital Campaign process, and selecting the right one is never easy.  We were very fortunate to have had Mark Keramidas of Heritage Funding Solutions work on our team.  Had it not been for the determination, patience, and step by step council, our campaign would not have been a success.  Mark’s ability to “fit right in” quickly made him an accepted and trusted part of our community, another critical factor in success.  He was with us every step of the way, making sure we stayed the course in reaching our goal.  Mark was always available and willing to help when things seemed at times overwhelming and even frustrating.  His steady but easygoing personality helped make the campaign process a rewarding experience rather than what could have been a daunting task.  I cannot recommend Mark and his company more highly.”
