Suttle-Straus is pleased to announce that two of its clients were named as award winners at the 2023 International Catholic Stewardship Council's conference in Orlando, Florida this week. The competition is an annual event that recognizes and rewards excellence in diocesan fundraising campaigns.

Suttle-Straus provided creative graphic design, print, mailing and distribution services for these appeals, both of which met or exceeded their fundraising goals.

Diocese of Madison
Total Annual Appeal Effort

2023 was our Creative team's 12th year helping the Diocese of Madison craft their Annual Appeal campaign. With the theme "Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart," they reached their goal of $4.2 million through the use of personalized letters and pledge cards targeted to each donor. Diocese of Madison previously won this award for their 2019 campaign.

Diocese of La Crosse
Diocesan Capital Campaign Effort

After helping the Diocese of La Crosse with their Annual Appeal for many years, we were also selected to design, print and mail their Capital Campaign with the theme of "Inspired by the Spirit". The campaign was led with strategic management from Lynch Development Associates in Centerport, NY. It had a goal of $40 million, which it surpassed with more than $55 million raised to date.
