Today, they minister to over a million people in about 2,500 congregations. Our work even helped to create The United Church of Canada Foundation in 2002. Now, they manage over $100 million in assets in over 500 funds.
We’ve been the Agency of Record for The United Church of Canada and the United Church of Canada Foundation for more than 15 years, providing a range of communications and fundraising services. Through the years, our work has helped the United Church raise over $150 million.
We’ve collaborated with the United Church on a wide range of campaigns, adapting as the organization has evolved. From designing annual reports that transitioned from print to online-only to creating advertising campaigns featured in both spiritual and secular press, our work reflects a deep understanding of their mission and goals. We’ve written and designed countless appeals, flyers, booklets, and manuals, and
even managed their website.
Recently, the Foundation launched a $25 million centennial legacy fundraising campaign, anchored in one-on-one, person-to-person fundraising. This is the future of ‘direct’ that includes mail, and we’re on the leading edge.
The Foundation’s overall fundraising success is phenomenal! Last year was the first time in the Foundation’s history that it granted $10 million a year and also the first time that it crossed the $100 million threshold in assets. With our support, they’ve seen a 260% increase in donated revenue over the past 5 years.
