Oct. 6, 2011 – Christian Brothers Services (CBS), a not-for-profit organization that administers cooperative programs for Catholic organizations and Ter Molen Watkins & Brandt (TW&B), a leader in campaign development and fundraising, announced a formal collaboration to provide fundraising services to Catholic and other faith-based organizations.
Ter Molen Watkins & Brandt will offer development leadership to members of Christian Brothers Services, ranging from annual giving consulting to capital campaign planning and implementation. In addition, a capital campaign self-help guide will be offered to CBS members.

“This collaboration provides our members with the opportunity to increase revenue with solid development strategy.” said Brother Michael Quirk, FSC, Ed.D., president and chief executive officer of Christian Brothers Services, “And it is in keeping with our commitment to protect our members’ resources and help them advance in their own missions. TW&B is a stable, proven, and trusted consulting source. We have great confidence in their team.”
Clyde Watkins, Chairman of TW&B, added, “The primary objective in development consulting, in addition to financial success, is to make client institutions independent and self-sufficient by the conclusion of their service. Having known Brother Michael for many years has instilled a lot of confidence and trust between us. We look forward to serving and helping CBS members.”
