“Our Success was based certainly on the generosity of our parishioners.
However, in a large part, we were successful because of the methods of your company.”

Rev. Edward Kaicher, Pastor
St. Peter’s Catholic Community
Fallbrook, California

"I am writing in regard to the admirable work that was accomplished by your
company through the leadership of Mr. Andrew White. Having just completed the
campaign in the Diocese of Grand Rapids, we attribute it's success in great part,
to your professional and capable staff, under the leadership of Mr. White.
Among Andy’s skills is a special aptitude to deal with roadblocks and a congenial
mannerism which keeps transactions on a harmonius level at all times."

Sister Patrice Konwinski, Chancellor
Diocese of Grand Rapids, Michigan

"I have been a professional fundraiser since 1989 and knew what exactly what
was needed from a fundraising firm. I and other members of the parish
Finance Committee interviewed a number of individuals and organizations
before selecting Andy White and Tom Farrell. We were impressed with their
presentation and depth of experience in Catholic Fundraising. We specifically
requested that Andy handle the church campaign and we found him to be reliable
efficient and a very competent solicitor with a sincere and professional style."
