I thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve [Meier] and attribute our successful campaign to his leadership. We needed an objective viewpoint to keep us on track, a cheerleader to energize our committee members and a champion to see it through until the end. Steve wore all of these hats. As a result, we have a new emergency department to better serve our patients. -Valerie Stricker Executive Director DePaul Health Center Foundation

Main Industries We Help

Healthcare and Medical Networks

These organizations require a consultant who understands the language of C-suite executives and the operational data that drives hospital board decisions. Fortunately, navigating the intricate board politics and unique donor landscapes of hospital systems and research foundations is our forte. We assist these entities in transitioning from operational funding to large-scale capital expansion.

Faith-Based and Religious Organizations

With events like the 2026 Bicentennial in Missouri and regional restructuring efforts, faith-based groups need a trusted partner to manage the sensitive transition from a feasibility study to a successful capital campaign. That is why we offer reliable capital campaign management for religious organizations. We understand the unique stewardship language and community-driven dynamics of these institutions, enabling us to provide expert guidance rooted in deep community stewardship. MeierJost.com even has a deep history of managing campaigns for dioceses, individual parishes, and regional religious networks.
