We are currently in our Leadership Gift phase, which began in October 2018. Members of the Bishop's Cabinet have graciously hosted (and will host) receptions at various venues to promote significant, foundational giving in support of the campaign. In addition to the Cabinet members, other key volunteers and reception attendees have expressed interest in hosting a reception. Leadership Gift Donors often make capital campaign gifts in the range of five to ten times their annual gift to Partners in Charity.
The active parish phases of the campaign will run from January 2019 - Dec 2021. Each parish will conduct their campaign in one of five blocks within that timeframe. The five blocks are as follows:
Block 1: January -June 2019 (most parishes will begin the reception program in March 2019)
Block 2: July-December 2019 (most parishes will begin the reception program in September 2019)
Block 3: July-Dec 2020 (most parishes will begin the reception program in September 2021)
Block 4:: January-June 2021 (most parishes will begin the reception program in March 2021)
Block 5: September-Dec 2021 (most parishes will begin the reception program in Nov 2021)
The following parishes are designated as Block 1 parishes as of today, 1/11/19:
In preparation for kicking the campaign off, all parishes in Block 1 are asked to prepare the following:
