"Thank you for your help and counsel regarding our recent Leadership Giving Campaign. The methodology, advice and guidance you provided our team has paid off for not only this year's campaign but for our future Leadership Giving activities. . . . The Donor Briefing concept you suggested has been a HOME RUN! It resulted in an increase of well over $1.4 million and the prospect of a second $500,000 gift from another donor group. . . . Our staff is energized. Our Board has caught the vision . . . This has not only been what we hoped it would be, but it has turned into much more. I am convinced that any Army unit that commits to working this program can be successful!"
Scott Justvig, Kansas and Western Missouri Divisional Director of Development, The Salvation Army |
"I want to compliment you on the excellent pre-campaign report you provided to us. It was very thorough and well done . . . one of the best pre-campaign reports I’ve ever seen. I compliment The Timothy Group and look forward to working together on our capital campaign."
Michael Morsberger, Board Member, Durham Rescue Mission |
"We thank you wholeheartedly for putting together a dynamic team, teaching us how this whole capital fundraising process works, and helping us secure more than $800,000 in cash and pledges. Thank you for guiding us through this exciting and sometimes overwhelming challenge. Some of us never dreamed that we would be able to get so far out of our comfort zone and find God 'right there,' helping us each step of the way. It has been a thrill to see how He has worked throughout this process and how He equips us for things we never thought possible. We have all learned so much and we believe God has used each of us and our gifts for such a time as this. Thank you for all that you taught us."
Stacy Pinkerton, Campaign Chair, Venice Christian School |
"I am thrilled to write a letter of recommendation for The Timothy Group. As I worked with Ron Haas and Pat McLaughlin, I found their Bible-centered approach to fundraising to be refreshing "
"Results! We have seen great results from individuals we have visited and the banquet not only generated funds, but a tremendous excitement for our ministry."
Phil Betz, Executive Director, Iowa Regular Baptist Camp |
"The Timothy Group is an organization that is not only committed to helping Huntington University plan for and execute our campaign, but an orgainization whose ultimate role is assisting clients and their constituents realize the true stewardship benefits of Kingdon building work, a combination not often seen today."
Troy Irick, Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Huntington University
|
"Your guidance and creative suggestions have made a real difference in the development of our plan. . . . . I have been specifically thankful for the way in which you adjusted your planning process to meet our requests. . . . I found [The Timothy Group] to have wide experience and understanding with Christian schools, especially at the university/college level. However, [TTG] was able to apply these principles to an elementary and secondary Christian school, such as ours. Thanks again for your leadership and your thoughtful encouragement."
Dr. John B. Engstrom, President, Minnehaha Academy, Minneapolis, MN |
"I would like to thank you for helping WAY-FM launch our building campaign. Without your advice and ideas it is hard to imagine where we would be right now. "

"Covenant College has enjoyed the process of building a capital campaign, and we have greatly benefited from the counsel of The Timothy Group. We fully expect to reach our campaign goals, and we extend our thanks to The Timothy Group for their part in that success."
Troy A. Duble, Vice President of Advancement, Covenant College

"Your team provided excellent counsel and expertise at every stage of the process. You helped create a good plan for advertising, aided in constructing a job profile, and acted as a trusted extension of my office for initial screening interviews and background checks of candidates. You helped me develop and manage an integrated process in which no detail was left untended. "
Ken Capisciolto, Vice President of College Advancement, Kuyper College

"Despite what the news media reports, checks are still being written for ministry. Stewards are still stewards in any economy. This $2 million contribution couldn't have come at a better time for our school, as we wrap up a $23 million campaign. We are greatly encouraged, mostly by the fact that God is still in control."
Steve Wilson, Director of Advancement, Lakeland Christian School |
"Pat's guidance came at a time of significant growth . . . . During our engagement with The Timothy Group, our revenue increased over $1.5 million with a foundation laid for significantly higher growth in 2008 and beyond. I warmly and whole-heartedly recommend The Timothy Group to you and your ministry."
Mike Toupin, National Director of Development, The Seed Company |
"On behalf of Wheaton Academy, please accept my sincere thanks for your service in preparation for and launch of Transforming Every Student: The Campaign for Wheaton Academy. The Timothy Group's assistance in the pre-campaign study was invaluable. You also helped build our in-house capabilities while simultaneously supplying needed outside guidance, as well."
Gene Frost, Head of School, Wheaton Academy
|
"We were pleased with not only the outcome of the study and its positive impact on our planning and development, but also with the sensitivity and professionalism of our consultant, and the shared values that we experienced with The Timothy Group. Based on our work with them, we would highly recommend our consultant and this group to other non-profit organizations working in any service capacity. "
Samuel A. Beals, Executive Director, Christian Counseling Center

"In the mercy of the Lord, the Campaign was successful and more than that, it served as a training ground for senior leadership and Stewardship staff to experience what it really means to build relationships and invite people to participate in what God is doing by giving generously. That learning experience continues to bear fruit as we live out the principles that you gave us during our times of meeting together."
Shelley Cochrane, Vice President of Mobilization, The Evangelical Alliance Mission

"I really appreciate the time and energy you put into the recruiting and interviewing process. Your special knowledge and expertise helped us to identify the most qualified and passionate candidates for these two fundraising positions, both of which are critical to the growth of Home Missions "

"The Timothy Group is a very professional, Christian organization, which has a huge heart for Christian ministries across the country. I have the utmost regard for Pat and his team. I want to commend consultant Dr. Rex Rogers for the professional and skillful way in which he led my board in strategic planning in 2008. His disciplined approach was exactly what we needed to help us accomplish our goal of crafting a new plan for the future. He was sensitive to our unique needs as a gospel rescue mission, and didn't use a cookie cutter approach or one size fits all method. I recommend The Timothy Group's services to the entire Christian community."
Rev. Chico Daniels, President/CEO, Mel Trotter Ministries

"Ultimately, the retreat put us in a better position to function as a team by enhancing our strategies for how we execute our priorities. Ron (Haas) did a great job of facilitating group discussion and providing thoughtful insights. His relaxed style of presentation helped facilitate open communication."
