Silver Bay YMCA and Conference Center
Lake George, New York

Success for the historic Silver Bay YMCA required devising a fundraising effort that would engage past, current and future donors— families transformed over a century by this unique YMCA program and 700 acre lakefront Adirondack property—in renewing its renowned campus. Central to the vision was raising $16 million for funding for a new lodging and dining complex that would engage visitors year round in the Silver Bay experience of renewing, refreshing and nourishing spirit, mind and body. Our firm conducted the feasibility study, created the campaign communications, advised on strategies and provided ongoing counsel. The new facility is currently under construction.

Jones Memorial Community Center
Chicago Heights, Illinois

This settlement house located 20 miles south of Chicago’s Loop, has for a century selflessly served immigrants from Europe, African-Americans who were part of the Great Migration from the American South, and Mexican-Americans who first arrived as migrants working on nearby farms and stayed to work in local factories, as well as residents of the entire region. Its 100th anniversary provided an opportunity to upgrade facilities and programs, and make all parts of its renowned 46 room Art Deco building handicapped accessible. Sigler Consulting is partnering to carry out a feasibility study, create a communications package, including a general brochure and capital campaign brochure and materials, and advise on a modest but crucial capital campaign.
