Church Capital Campaigns
North East Region
These Catholic and Protestant church capital campaigns in the North East Region of the US were led by Walsh & Associates. Our mission is to be great stewards, to live up to the Parable of the Talents and bring out the best in those we serve. We just work with churches and only do capital campaigns. Campaigns grounded in prayer, scripture, and sound stewardship teachings. We combine this with our practical, proven-to-be-most-productive operating methods. This assures you of getting the best results and best return on your capital campaign investment financially. Your church also will grow spiritually and in community. And, it will be more equipped and excited than ever about doing God’s will through the works of your church.
Client Testimonials
“Our Walsh consultant’s communication with us as a committee, as individuals, and with our church members was outstanding – timely, concise, and thorough. Walsh bolstered our confidence, eased our fears, and gave each of us the direction and help we needed. I would confidently recommend Walsh & Associates to other churches. Thanks so much for helping us!”
Elaine Wood, Prayer Committee Chair, First Congregational Church, Traverse City, Michigan
Forward by Faith campaign
“After beginning a renovation project on an old existing building, our church realized that we needed to raise more funds than we had available. After praying about it and doing some research, we engaged Walsh & Associates to do a feasibility study and capital campaign. We did not know what to expect, but God had everything under control. Our consultant helped us organize our campaign fundraising effort in a very professional manner and was dedicated to helping us reach our goal. Our previous fundraising efforts were done in-house and did not have the structure that Walsh & Associates provided. As a result, this campaign was more successful.”
Rev. Kenneth Simms, Pastor, New Hope Baptist Church, Hyde Park, Massachusetts
Keeping Hope Alive! campaign
“For the past two years, St Peter’s Catholic Church has been anticipating a capital campaign for the renovation needs of our current 100-year-old church. After interviewing several companies, we decided on Walsh & Associates. Your feasibility study determined that our parish could raise $2 million in pledges over three years. We decided to add an additional $1 million challenge goal for additional renovations at our high school. My announcement to the parish on “Celebration Weekend” informing our parishioners that we had secured pledges of over $2 million met with applause at every weekend Mass! To date our pledges are over $2.5 million!”
Rev. Gregory Hite, Pastor, St. Peter’s Parish, Mansfield, Ohio
“I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the services provided by Walsh & Associates, and specifically for the leadership provided by our campaign director. After interviewing three different consulting firms, there was no question in my mind that Walsh & Associates was the firm I wished to work with, and after meeting with our consultant, confidence in my choice was reinforced. I love Walsh & Associates’ approach, and I am grateful for our consultant’s management skills.”

Building the Master’s Plan campaign
“I was really impressed with our consultant’s knowledge of his product, as well as his direction and leadership throughout this complete process. The whole company from Michael all the way down to Caroline (initial phone contact) have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to fundraising in the church world. I mentioned to our leadership board that I don’t think we would have been as successful if I was in charge of our capital campaign. As a change manager, Walsh had the timing down as to when and how this process worked. To think with their help, we raised almost $2 million dollars in just over eight weeks. In my mind this was over the top, and I am very happy with their service. I would recommend them to our fellow Reformed Churches in Michigan and around the country. I give your services two big thumbs up!!”
