Testimonials
“Goettler Associates’ counsel showed us how to raise the bar. They took us well beyond what we originally thought would be possible to achieve, and more than has ever been raised in this community”
- Raymond Ingham, PhD, FACHE, FACMPE President and CEO, Witham Health ServicesCuyahoga Valley Christian Academy contracted with Goettler Associates for fundraising consulting services in connection with a $5 million capital campaign to create a permanent endowment to support need-based financial aid at the school.

How much money is required for the project? When will the campaign […]
