Here's What Our Clients Have to Say: "The work of Havey and Associates, inc. in the Wisconsin Conference, United Church of Christ, has provided the guidance and encouragement that enabled us to have two very successful campaigns, raising nearly $10 million on goals of about $8 million. As campaign counsel, Steve Havey and his staff provided expert advice every step of the way. They listened to our concerns, but they always kept us on task and moving forward with confidence and hope. They taught us how to create a case, how to communicate the needs of our program, and, most importantly, how to ask and invite people to give generously to our common mission. All of the work by Havey and Associates, inc. was highly professional in every respect. In addition to our Conference campaigns, Havey and Associates, inc. has assisted numerous churches in our Conference with individual congregational campaigns for both building projects and ministry programs. In these cases as well, their work has been effective in securing dollars needed to carry out the mission of the church. We are grateful for Steve Havey's guidance in these important campaigns and wholeheartedly recommend him." The Rev. David S. Moyer, Conference Minister
Wisconsin Conference United Church of Christ Deforest, Wisconsin "In 1997 Steve Havey, of Havey and Associates, inc. conducted a fund-raising campaign for the Nebraska Conference, United Church of Christ. Our goal was $1,000,000 and we had pledges for $ 1,650,000. We followed his suggested plan and it was excellent. Steve is a very hard worker and left no stone unturned. His creativity was beyond my expectations. When he tells you something, he follows through. You will be most satisfied with his services." The Rev. Clarence "Clip" M. Higgins, Jr., Retired Conference Minister
Nebraska Conference UCC Lincoln, Nebraska "I have but one suggestion for those who would hire Havey & Associates. Follow their advice! Havey & Associates know and love their business. What they bring to fund-raising and capital campaigns are enthusiasm and a tremendous record of achievement. We gave them two opportunities to meet the challenge of raising funds from our congregations. The campaigns turned out to be inspired. Havey & Associates hit the ball out of the park,... each time!" The Rev. Dr. Frederick Trost, Retired Conference Minister
Wisconsin Conference United Church of Christ DeForest, Wisconsin "Havey & Associates, inc. has a solid campaign program and is pro-active in keeping leadership on top of their needed tasks.

The Rev. Jorge L. Morales, Associate Conference Minister Illinois Conference United Church Of Christ Westchester, Illinois "We first contracted with Havey & Associates to raise over $3 million dollars from our 253 churches. Stephen raised our vision to a $6 million goal and put his expertise and organization skills to the task to help us reach the goal. In 1999, we recontracted with them for a goal of $4.9 million and again we over subscribed. We were extremely pleased with the professionalism and "can do" management of Havey & Associates, inc." John L. Reed, Campaign Chairman & Board Member
Wisconsin Conference United Church of Christ DeForest, Wisconsin "As a minister of the United Church of Christ, I have worked with Havey & Associates, inc. on three separate capital campaigns - two for our local church and one for the Illinois Conference UCC. In each case Havey & Associates, inc. brought us a well-conceived campaign for which they worked diligently. Havey & Associates, inc. helped us to raise our sights and then worked hard to achieve them. One of the things I hope for from a fund raiser is someone who will make sure all the details are attended to - there are many - and that the volunteers are supported, encouraged and, at times, pushed. Havey & Associates, inc. does all of these. In addition, Havey & Associates, inc. stays behind the scenes doing their work and lets others be seen and heard by the congregation. I think that is important. I highly recommend Havey & Associates, inc." The Rev. Dr. John Rodgers, Senior Minister
The Congregational Church UCC St. Charles, Illinois "The key to our successful capital campaign was following Havey & Associates plan. We as campaign leaders challenged ourselves to give sacrificially, and then we went out and challenged others in our congregation. We received 70% more in pledges than we anticipated!" The Rev. Dr. David Foxgrover, Pastor
Congregational Church of Batavia UCC Batavia, Illinois "It has been a pleasure working with Havey & Associates, inc. for the past year and a half. As a member of the congregation and a campaign volunteer, I was impressed with the training and support I received in implementing Havey & Associates, inc.'s highly successful method of reaching campaign goals. As campaign secretary, a position that has been clearly defined and organized by Havey & Associates, inc., I have found their counsel and availability invaluable. Thanks to Havey and Associates, inc. our campaign is a great success." Karen Savage, Campaign Secretary
Congregational Church of Batavia UCC Batavia, Illinois "Havey & Associates provided outstanding direction and support to our REACH OUT IN FAITH capital fund campaign, our first professionally-guided campaign. We easily exceeded our basic goal and continue moving toward reaching our challenge goal. Havey brought the knowledge, skill, and tools to the process that we needed. Havey was constantly in touch and always available to us throughout the campaign and continues to provide valuable follow-up support. Havey & Associates is without doubt one of the best investments we have made in the future of our church and its ministries. I personally enjoyed working with Steve Havey and recommend Havey & Associates without reservation. If a church works the Havey plan, the plan works!" The Rev. Dr. Michael O. Simmons, Pastor
Spring Creek United Church of Christ Rockford, Illinois "Our congregation voted to conduct a 5-year capital campaign, with the goal of raising $1,000,000. This was by far the most ambitious campaign our church has ever done, and we hired Havey & Associates as our fundraising consulting firm. I am pleased to say that, because of the professional guidance provided by Havey & Associates, we achieved our fundraising goal, something that we could never have done on our own. I would highly recommend Havey & Associates to assist in your fundraising endeavor. They are professional, organized, courteous, and a pleasure to work with." Marty Schranz, Moderator, Co-Campaign Coordinator
First Congregational Church UCC Downers Grove, Illinois "When our congregation realized it would take nearly two million dollars to address our facility needs (with no seed money to start with) we immediately assumed the project would have to be significantly scaled back. To our surprise "Havey & Associates, inc. convinced us that we could raise between $700,000 and $900,000 over a five year period. The campaign proved to be a healthy process for us because it allowed people to affirm the important role of the church in their lives and to commit their resources accordingly. Many friendships were fostered through the personal visitations, and the congregation experienced a spirit of joyful anticipation which gave us the momentum to break ground within a matter of months. To date our congregation has pledged $872,000 and the collection process continues to meet our expectations. The Havey & Associates program works miracles!" The Rev. Franz Rigert, Pastor
Pilgrim United Church of Christ Grafton, Wisconsin "We decided to make the leap of faith and hire Havey & Associates, inc. to conduct our Second Century Campaign. In hindsight, it was exactly what we needed to do. The entire experience was a positive one from beginning to end. The home visits pulled us together as a congregation and we ended up exceeding our challenge goal! Havey & Associates, inc. has a plan and, if you dare to follow it, it really works. He challenged us and we challenged ourselves. We ended up accomplishing more than any of us believed was possible!" The Rev. Dr. Jeff Suddendorf, Pastor
First Congregational UCC Port Washington, Wisconsin "Havey & Associates, inc. delivers! By "raising sights" of our church leaders and members, they were able to meet and exceed our church's capital goal! Without Havey & Associates, inc.'s persistence and professional guidance our fundraising team would have been lost. His experienced training and thorough program fostered confidence in our visitation teams. In my time as a parish minister and through community involvement, I have worked with different fundraising agencies. Havey & Associates, inc. stands above the rest as experienced professionals who wants their clients to succeed. Havey & Associates, inc. has my highest recommendation!" The Rev. Dr. Robert Laubenstein, Minister
First United Church of Christ Green Bay, Wisconsin "I am writing to express my appreciation for the leadership that you gave our Capital Fund campaign at Grace Congregational Church in Two Rivers. With your assistance, we have been able to construct a $3.4 million church facility with a realist expectation of having it paid within three years. You were straight-forward in your approach to fund-raising, informing us of a precise, step-by-step method. It was not easy, and some of our members will attest to the courage and confidence they needed to fulfill their responsibilities. Your proven expertise helped us to grow in faith, stretching the expectations we had ourselves. Our association with Havey and Associates did much more than raise money for a church building, it helped us to assess our loyalty to God's Kingdom and the importance of our faith. Thank you, Stephen, for your service to our congregation. I have already passed your name onto another congregation that is approaching a Capital Fund Campaign similar to ours." The Rev. Dr. Kim Henning, Pastor
Grace Congregational UCC Two Rivers, Wisconsin "The success of our campaign was significantly aided by the work of Havey & Associates, inc. The organization of the process, and the support of Steve Havey was super! Without his experience and hands-on coaching, the campaign would have been much longer, and the success doubtful. His advice of sticking to the proven process was shown to be right on the money, for when a volunteer deviated from it, the donations lagged. Thank you Steve!" R.E. "Dick" Willits, Coordinator-Share the Challenge
First Congregational Church UCC Sheboygan, Wisconsin "I recommend Steve Havey of Havey & Associates very highly. We appreciated his counsel very much as we sought funds for new pipe organ, remodeled rooms and a "tithe" for our endowment. Havey helped us organize ourselves along sound principles and tracked our progress with encouraging words every step of the way. Our goal was $1.1million and by the time we announced the total, we had raised over $1.3 million in gifts and pledges!" The Rev. James Hollister, Senior Minister
First Congregational Church, UCC Sheboygan, Wisconsin "While I had some initial doubts about the cost of utilizing a professional fund-raiser, I now know it was money well-spent. Whenever we had questions or concerns about the Campaign, Steve Havey and his team were most accessible! Midst the myriad other responsibilities that a pastor must focus upon, Havey and Associates helped keep us 'on target.' In exceeding our $1 Million goal I am hopeful we will also be teaching our members that they ARE capable of increasing their giving and living out of a sense of abundance, not scarcity, can continue to give more financially and be better stewards long after this campaign has concluded!" The Rev. William Hoglund, Senior Minister
First Congregational Church, UCC Downers Grove, Illinois "Our capital campaign goal was a greater challenge than any our congregation had seen before.

We are grateful to Havey & Associates for expanding our awareness of stewardship and generosity. The skills we developed while working together have already enriched our church's ministry beyond the campaign." The Rev. Kathryn Kuhn, Minister
Bethlehem United Church Of Christ Kiel, Wisconsin "Our church had a wonderful experience working with Havey & Associates, inc. They pushed us hard to reach our goal.

Bethlehem United Church Of Christ Kiel, Wisconsin "As the Campaign Coordinator for our Campaign, I was most impressed with the orchestration of the Havey & Associates, inc. plan.

First Congregational Church, UCC Downers Grove, Illinois "Let me take this opportunity to formally thank and acknowledge your counsel and assistance with Windsor United Church of Christ's amazing capital campaign this year. The church's outstanding response and the more than $900,000 raised is a tribute to you and your staff, and the guidance and encouragement you gave to us throughout the process. Windsor United Church of Christ, a congregation nearly 150 years old, will use the resources gained during the "Building a Legacy of Love" campaign to construct a church school and sanctuary expansion during 2006. We are actively involved in the planning process, having chosen our design/build firm in late November. We are excited about the planning, and are hopeful of breaking ground in late March or early April. Your expertise made all the difference. We continue to be grateful for the work you helped us accomplish, and for the future work and ministry that will be possible as a result of the campaign's wonderful outcome. Again, my personal thanks to you for your willingness to take us to a new level of understanding and a new spirit of growth at Windsor United Church of Christ! Sincerely yours." The Reverend David McDonald, Senior Pastor
United Church Of Christ Windsor, Wisconsin "I want you to know how much I appreciated working with you on the fund-raising campaign for our church, the First Congregational Church of Ripon. Not only did we raise more money than our expectations, but we did it in record time. We could not have accomplished this without the help provided by you and your staff. It was a great feeling to stand in front of the congregation and announce we had raised $1,248,000 after only six weeks of visitation with our members." Jere Chapin, Campaign Auditor
First Congregational Church Of Ripon Ripon, Wisconsin "From beginning to end, working with Havey & Associates, inc. has been a pleasure. The planning and strategy that were used and followed insured the successful outcome to the capital campaign at First Congregational Church of Ripon Wisconsin. The one additional thing I would add is when you listen to Havey & Associates, inc. and follow the Plan they set forth, the results are truly amazing. I highly recommend Havey & Associates, inc. to any congregation desiring a successful outcome to a capital campaign." The Rev. Jack Kraaz, Pastor
First Congregational Church of Ripon Ripon, Wisconsin "We at First Congregational Church of Ripon recently completed a capital campaign with the support of Havey & Associates, inc. People all over Ripon were astounded by how much money we raised. I'm convinced that we never could have been this successful without the services of Havey & Associates, inc. They were well organized, professional, and very accessible. I felt comfortable calling whenever I needed guidance, and they were always friendly and helpful. They've developed a system that is remarkably effective. If I'm ever involved in another fund-raising campaign, Havey & Associates, inc. will be the first place I look for help - I've already recommended their services to others." Bev Christ, Campaign Coordinator
First Congregational Church Of Ripon Ripon, Wisconsin "The fund-raising program that Havey & Associates, inc. brought to our church was well-conceived and quite effective. We were a church in transition between senior ministers and without a history of successful fund-raising. Nevertheless, the amount we raised in our Anniversary Capital Campaign far exceeded our minimum goal and certainly exceeded the expectations of most of our congregation. Thank you so much for your help. We could not have done this without you. Thank you especially for your patience with us." Doris Bryant, Campaign Coordinator
First Congregational Church Of LaGrange LaGrange, IL "Without the proven system that Havey & Associates, inc. has developed, we would not have known where to start with our capital campaign efforts. Steve trained us and gave us the confidence that we needed to execute our campaign successfully. I would recommend their system to anyone conducting a fund-raising campaign." Jerry Palmer, Moderator
First Congregational Church Of LaGrange LaGrange, IL "Havey & Associates, inc. got the job done in the big way for us. There were no gimmicks, no special tricks, just the hard work of involving everyone in the congregation, having members "raise the sights" of other members to reach a goal. Most churches have an aversion to raising money. Churches need an "outsider" who can come in facilitate a process where a congregation challenges itself to meet a goal. Havey & Associates, inc. method works. Bottom line. We far exceeded our goal." The Rev. Dr. Peter Luckey, Senior Pastor
Plymouth Church Lawrence, Kansas "What a great experience our congregation had with Havey & Associates, inc. on our capital campaign. Three years ago, we did a small $40,000 campaign that took almost a year to raise and gave us all a headache. We were really worried what would happen to our congregation now that we needed $250,000 for major work to our church building. Last Sunday we announced that we surpassed $403,000 and we are still counting. Steve Havey's proven methods really work. I would not hesitate hiring Havey and Associates, inc. to conduct another campaign for us." The Rev. David Schlieter, Pastor
Congregational UCC Mineral Point, Wisconsin "We chose to work with Havey & Associates, inc. at the recommendation of another church in our area. We are a small congregation with a small operating budget, and expected it to be very difficult to reach our goal of $250,000 to replace our heating system and re-lead our stained glass windows. Havey & Associates, inc.'s process broke our 2006 Building Campaign into small, manageable steps that helped us exceed our goal, raising over $403,000. It also had the unanticipated benefit of engaging our members in the process, with 25% of the members volunteering in some manner and more than 70% pledging to the campaign." Cindy and Joe Palzkill, Coordinators
Congregational UCC Mineral Point, Wisconsin "Our capital campaign to provide church accessibility was an amazing, effective and necessary process. Our theme was ACCESS 2000: Affirming Christ's Church--Everyone Shares in Service! The minimum goal was $364,000; and pledges were made for $556,000--over one and a half times our goal! Paid pledges were 97%, yielding $540,000! How could a small church in a small rural community do better? Our building program is now paid in full. Havey & Associates, Inc. enabled us to shape and present our vision in such an efficient and exciting fashion that we were able to "raise our sights" and respond appropriately. We sincerely appreciate Havey & Associates, Inc's years of fund-raising wisdom all ordered within an effective plan tailored for our situation." Grandon Harris, Campaign Coordinator
First Congregational UCC Park Falls, Wisconsin "Havey & Associates, inc. was instrumental in the success of the Community Church of Durham's "Of One Spirit" Capital Campaign. Our goal was $500,000 yet we raised over $990,000. Their hands on involvement and enthusiasm transferred through to the Steering Committee which made our job easier and more enjoyable. A daily task book, printed materials, detailed instructions and guidance allowed busy Church members to successfully achieve our goals and dreams. We found Havey & Associates, inc. to be attentive, pleasant and responsive to our needs and questions." Stuart Bauder
Co-chairman, "Of One Spirit" Capital Campaign Community Church of Durham Durham, New Hampshire "Our congregation was 110 years old with older members, and lightening struck (or the grace of God) and our people decided to build a new church building in a new suburban location. We interviewed half a dozen fund-raising firms and also considered doing it ourselves, so we wouldn't hurt any feelings. Finally, one assertive member said, 'we only want to go through this process once and we want to reach our goal'. The only person we interviewed that met that criterion was Havey & Associates, inc. That member was right. Havey & Associates, inc. will lead you through the process and you WILL reach your goal, through a combination of experience, knowledge, persistence and availability at any moment to answer questions. If you hire Havey & Associates, inc., don't expect an easy approach. Expect a professional and thorough approach aimed at reaching your goal." The Rev. Kent A. Mosebach, Retired Pastor
St. Paul's UCC Oshkosh, Wisconsin "Our Covenant Campaign was successful beyond any member's belief! Our Membership has always had the financial resources but it took Havey & Associates, inc.'s plan to connect the need with the giving. Many new relationships have been formed amongst members as well as a result of the Campaign. Havey & Associates, inc. and their secretarial services are the primary reasons for our success and we would not hesitate in future campaigns to partner with them again." Joe Hobson, Campaign Coordinator
United Protestant Church Grayslake, Illinois "Havey & Associates, inc. did a superb job of fund-raising consultation for our church's capital campaign. Their method worked especially well when we followed their plan. And we achieved our goal! Their work is "superb" because they believe in what they do, are realistic, pay attention to details with a passion and they don't just pursue excellence they are quality through and through. Lastly, Havey & Associates, inc. embody the Christian faith in their business and in their service to client churches. I recommend them most highly and without hesitation." The Rev. Dr. David Russell, Senior Pastor
United Protestant Church Grayslake, Illinois "Havey & Associates, inc. elevated our sights considerably, helping us raise far more than we thought possible - and far more than we EVER could have raised on our own! They were persistent, consistent, clear, above-board, professional, and worth every dollar we invested in their services. Their system of one-on-one home visits also helped build better relationships among members of our congregation. We owe the success of our campaign to Havey & Associates, inc." The Rev. Jeffrey L. Phillips, Pastor
St. John United Church of Christ Arlington Heights, Illinois "When we decided to pursue a capital campaign, we were unsure if a fund-raising consultant was needed to help us. After speaking with several companies, it became clear that Havey & Associates, inc.'s approach and methodology offered us the best opportunity to reach our financial goals. Steve Havey helped us to expand our thinking and indeed provided us with the expertise, leadership and drive to make our FAITH and FAMILY Campaign successful. To date, we have exceeded our intermediate goal and hope to reach our challenge goal as the final pledges are received. I strongly recommend Havey & Associates, inc. for fund-raising campaigns and wouldn't hesitate to hire Havey&Associates, inc. again to assist our church." Tim Wayman, Stewardship Chair and FAITH and FAMILY Campaign Steering Committee Member
St. John United Church of Christ Arlington Heights, Illinois "We can't believe what we accomplished in the seven months we worked with Havey & Associates, inc. To date, we have raised $534,900 in pledges against our minimum goal of $325,000 -- and, we still have members that are contemplating their commitments. Everyone is pleased with the way our "Faith and Family" Campaign was conducted and that our total pledges exceeded what most members expected. We couldn't have done it without Havey & Associates, inc. The best thing we did was to hire Havey & Associates, inc. to run our Campaign. The second best thing was to hire Havey & Associates, inc. to handle the administrative duties for the Campaign. They kept us on track and were always there to assist us. An unexpected bonus of the Campaign was the camaraderie that developed among the committees, new members and volunteers visits with members. We are thankful to Havey & Associates,inc. for working with us to make our "Faith and Family" Campaign a success." Judy Kriston, Campaign Coordinator
St. John United Church of Christ Arlington Heights, Illinois "We at New Horizon United Church of Christ are very grateful to Havey and Associates, inc. for assisting us with our Building Campaign. They helped us every step of the way from day one to the end of our fund raising. They were in constant contact throughout the whole campaign making sure everything was running smoothly and that deadlines were being met. They are wonderful to work with, extremely efficient and always there to help. I would highly recommend Havey & Associates, inc. for any fund-raising event you may have." Robin Lemkuil, Campaign Coordinator
New Horizons UCC Farmington, Wisconsin "We are a very small congregation (68 Families/ 120 Members) and we were very concerned about our ability to raise the funds we were looking for to complete our remodeling project. Havey & Associates, inc. is extremely well organized and they guided us through this project on schedule which resulted in meeting our goals. We are sure we could not have done this campaign on our own. Havey & Associates, inc. has the tools and experience which was the major reason for our success. Havey & Associates, inc. were fun to work with and made a difficult project reasonably easy and the main thing is they helped us to successfully complete our project. We are glad we chose Havey & Associates, inc. and recommend them to anyone that is considering a fund-raising campaign." Shirley Birkholz & Bob Blohm, Campaign Co-Chairpersons
New Horizons UCC Farmington, Wisconsin "You worked your genius again in directing the fund-raising efforts of New Horizon United Church of Christ in the town of Farmington, Wisconsin. New Horizon is a small rural church, which after merging three area United Church of Christ congregations into the church now named New Horizon UCC, a core of members had the vision, and were determined to build a new church structure to meet future dreams and needs. I had worked with Steve in the past and was favorable about contracting him to serve as our fund-raising counsel. As soon as a contract was signed, he and his team took charge, and an organization within the church was put into place to accomplish our needs. Working closing with our team, Havey & Associates, inc. made certain no detail was overlooked. Together we accomplished what few thought was possible. Many heartfelt thanks to Havey & Associates, inc. for a job well done." The Rev. Robert P. Seater, Pastor
New Horizons UCC Farmington, Wisconsin "In 2001, our small church decided to build a new facility on a new site. The capital campaign raised $235,000 and we built a lovely, albeit small, church that fit our needs in 2002. In 2006, we all realized that we desperately needed room for a congregation that was more than double in size, and children whose number had risen from 12 to 56. Our members had a sour taste from the previous fund-raising firm we had used, but we decided to give Havey & Associates, inc. a chance, based on their reputation. The organization, training, techniques, & continuous support from Havey & Associates, inc. have paid off wonderfully for us. We raised $761,000 and now we will be able to supply ample space for our growing congregation who responded to the careful, honest, and proven techniques of Havey & Associates, inc. We are quite grateful for your experience, expertise and support. Utilizing Havey & Associates, inc. to raise this amount of money from people who had been asked to support the initial building of this church as well as those who are fairly new to us, has been a very positive experience. If we need to expand again in 5 years, we know exactly to whom we will turn!" The Rev. Karen M. Steffens, Pastor
St. John's UCC Merton, Wisconsin "After being a campaign chairperson for our last capital campaign, I was curious whether the Havey & Associates, inc. approach would work in our small church family. Being a small business owner myself, I gave the Havey & Associates, inc. plan my full support. By doing so, I discovered that our committee members found it much easier than our previous campaign to raise the necessary funds for our current expansion plans. The results were amazing! We raised $761,000 - more than 3 times the commitments from our previous campaign efforts. We exceeded our intermediate goal substantially with virtually the same number of giving units by using the professional Havey & Associates, inc. approach! I would definitely recommend Havey & Associates, inc. for your campaign efforts. Their professionalism and care for our congregation were outstanding!" Cliff Fischer, Campaign Co-Chairperson
St. John's UCC Merton, Wisconsin "Havey & Associates, inc. have helped us at First Congregational United Church of Christ in Eagle River, WI, have two very successful Capital Campaigns. The first Campaign was in 1996 and the second Campaign we just concluded (May, 2008). We contacted Steve for our second Campaign due to the success of the first Campaign. I can't imagine trying to undertake a Campaign on our own. Havey & Associates, inc. is extremely organized and really keep on top of things. Their guidance and support were only a phone call away. I would recommend them to any organization looking at not only meeting their goals but exceeding them." Paula Hendrickson, Campaign Coordinator
First Congregational United Church of Christ Eagle River, Wisconsin "It has been a pleasure to work with Havey & Associates, inc. in our ROSE Campaign to "Renew Our Spiritual Environment" so that we can renovate our 1924 sanctuary, fellowship hall and kitchen, add air conditioning and also provide capital funds for two global and local mission projects. Havey & Associates, inc. kept us on track, listened to us when we needed to tweak the program for our own context, and was always there for support. With Havey & Associates, inc.'s help, we met our Challenge Goal and so will be able to accomplish our entire project!
