CASE
STUDIES
 Thousands
of clients have used the services of LAWSON ASSOCIATES. These Case Studies
are a sampling of the satisfied customers that have been served.
Texas Tech University - LAWSON ASSOCIATES
was called upon to motivate alumni, to find new sources of potential major
gifts including
individuals,
foundations, and corporations, and to secure new staff for a $250 million
campaign. This all was accomplished and the goal
surpassed by $250 million, for a total of $512 million, within the five
years designated for the Campaign. This was at a University that
had barely raised $60 million in its earlier record-breaking Campaign.
Salvation Army of Columbus, Ohio - Asked to raise
over $10 million for what was the largest Salvation Army campaign in its
territory, LAWSON
ASSOCIATES responded by assisting in the raising of over $11 million. This
included securing the largest grant ever by the Kresge Foundation to a
local Salvation Army.
Smithsonian Institution - When given the challenge by
the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. which was a LAWSON ASSOCIATES client,
to raise funds
to create the first Smithsonian Museum outside Washington, D.C., LAWSON
ASSOCIATES responded by managing the successful campaign to create the
Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design in New York City.
Pacific Symphony Orchestra - In the middle of a major
recession, LAWSON ASSOCIATES managed the successful $5 million campaign
for the Southern
California Pacific Symphony Orchestra. The theme of this campaign,
"From Better to Best", is an accurate description of what LAWSON
ASSOCIATES attempts to accomplish for all its clients.
John Templeton Foundation - When asked by the John Templeton
Foundation in Pennsylvania to direct a major fundraising effort for the
Forgiveness
Campaign sponsored by the foundation, LAWSON ASSOCIATES responded
by raising over $1.5 million to assure this Campaign's success. This
campaign brought the Lawson team in contact with such international figures
as Bishop Tutu of South Africa.
Crystal Cathedral - When asked by Dr. Robert Schuller
in 1976 to direct a campaign to raise $10 million to build the first all
glass church in
the world most people said it couldn't be done. Working closely
with Philip Johnson, one of the world's greatest architects, LAWSON ASSOCIATES
raised these funds in less than a year. When construction bids
totaled over $20 million LAWSON ASSOCIATES was called back in to raise
the additional funds. Subsequent to these successful
campaigns Dr. Schuller has utilized the fundraising services of LAWSON
ASSOCIATES for numerous other Crystal Cathedral projects.
