In 2016, the Town of Pelham engaged Interkom to develop a multi-year community fundraising strategy to support the largest infrastructure investment in its history: the $36 million Pelham Community Centre, which opened in Fall 2018, named the Meridian Community Centre.
Interkom began with a comprehensive Feasibility Study that included extensive community and stakeholder engagement. Based on the findings, Interkom was retained to lead the full fundraising campaign, which was structured around three key areas: the Capital Campaign, the Community Campaign, and the Seat Campaign.
Our work encompassed the valuation of naming opportunities, donor cultivation and pledge agreement review, development of community campaign donation levels, creation of a sponsorship and advertising strategy, donor recognition events, and full campaign branding and communications.
The results were outstanding: within just 18 months, the campaign achieved its $3 million fundraising goal, providing vital support for the 145,000-sq-ft, state-of-the-art Community Centre featuring a 1,000-seat NHL-size arena.
