May 2007 – The Frick Art & Historical Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is utilizing a full complement of Schultz & Williams’s services to conduct a Capital Campaign Planning and Feasibility Study and to boost membership support as part of a tactical fundraising strategy through the full-service capabilities of Schultz & Williams Direct.

The Frick recognizes that the size of the Center’s membership demonstrates the perceived strength, or weakness, of its mission, goals and objectives, which is especially important when raising funds for a capital campaign. In addition, members must also be groomed to increase their support of the Center by either upgrading their membership or by contributing to other programs or projects during critical fundraising periods.

"The stronger your membership base, the more credible your organization appears to prospective donors and funders. When The Frick Art and Historical Center hired Schultz & Williams to conduct a Campaign Planning Study, they immediately saw how we could also help them execute a strategic membership renewal campaign to increase and upgrade member giving, strengthening their fundraising position and their cause," said Jessica Harrington, Vice President, Schultz & Williams Direct.

The Campaign Planning Study will work to support the Center’s mission to preserve, interpret and exhibit the art and cultural heritage of industrialist and art collector Henry Clay Frick.
