The once-in-a-generation capital campaign. Sanctuary renovation. New educational wing. Parsonage. Parking. Capital campaigns are different from regular giving — multi-year pledges, donor recognition, progress thermometers in the foyer. Built right.
A capital campaign isn't paid in one check. Members pledge over 3, 5, or 7 years. Annual installments tracked. Reminders sent before installment dates. Pledge fulfillment percentages reported.
On the donate page, on the foyer kiosk idle screen, on sanctuary signage during services. The thermometer fills as pledges come in and as installments are paid. Visible everywhere.
For donors who consent, a recognition wall on the foyer signage display. Major gift announcements when thresholds are crossed. Naming-rights tracking (the Smith Family Hall, the Johnson Sanctuary, etc.).
Big capital projects unfold in phases. Phase 1: design + permitting. Phase 2: foundation. Phase 3: structure. Each phase has its own subtotal and celebration moment.
"In memory of" / "In honor of" gifts toward the building fund. Family-permission-aware donor entry. Memorial-gift acknowledgment letters generated automatically.
Multi-year revenue projection. Pledge fulfillment rate. Year-over-year campaign comparison. Phase-completion timelines. Board-ready reports for monthly meetings.
