Once your capital campaign ends, the right approach can keep those donors giving at a higher level.

Peggy Scarano: We just introduced a new capital campaign in mid-July 2003 to raise $6 million to construct and furnish St. Agnes Residence, a four-story addition to our motherhouse, which will include residential space for sisters needing varying levels of care, plus an extension of our infirmary. Almost half of our sisters are over the age of 70, so we need the ability to care for the aging and infirm while at the same time continuing our missions.
