North Shore Congregation Israel
Capital/Endowment Campaign Management, TrainingIn early 2005, North Shore Congregation Israel, a Reform synagogue in Glencoe, Illinois, planned and launched an $18 million capital campaign in order to renovate and expand their current facility. In July of 2008, Giving Tree Associates was hired to manage the final fundraising phase of the project, which was known as the community campaign. As the strategy development period came to completion, Giving Tree coordinated a final campaign push for temple members. From October 2008 through January 2009, during the onset of the current economic downturn, Giving Tree enabled North Shore Congregation Israel leadership to raise $750,000. In that same period, the number of congregant donors increased from 100 to 250.

"Giving Tree came in and provided a real jump start to a capital campaign that was flagging as it began. They helped us grow from one-on-one solicitations with a handful of major donors to a full membership campaign. Giving Tree energized the volunteers and helped us develop the necessary structure to expand the reach of our campaign. Not only did their professional expertise and experience contribute to our success, but they are a real pleasure to work with on the personal level as well."
