In October 2004, Mississippi State University announced a goal of raising $400 million by December 2008 through State of the Future: The Mississippi State Campaign. MSU alumni and other supporters exceeded the campaign goal in December 2007. When the campaign concluded in December 2008, Mississippi State had raised more than $462 million in private gifts and pledges. Bentz Whaley Flessner has worked with MSU and the MSU Foundation since 2001, first on a campaign feasibility study and then by providing ongoing counsel.
With guidance from Bentz Whaley Flessner, Macalester College has $127 million in donor commitments toward its campaign goal of $150 million, and the annual fund will mark its best year ever, $3.4 million.
In December 2010, Ducks Unlimited and its foundation, Wetlands America Trust, completed the largest campaign by any conservation organization: almost $1.9 billion. The Wetlands for Tomorrow campaign conserved, restored, and managed millions of acres of North America’s wetlands for future generations.
Bentz Whaley Flessner has worked with Ducks Unlimited since 2003. After conducting a campaign feasibility study, Bentz Whaley Flessner provided campaign counsel and is helping Ducks Unlimited plan its next campaign.
Since 2005, Bentz Whaley Flessner has been working with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s Community Relations Department to help them prepare for and launch one of the largest fundraising campaigns in the medical center’s history–a $350 million effort encompassing seven strategic centers of research and clinical excellence.

In early 2007, Bentz Whaley Flessner was retained to assist Arkansas Children’s Hospital with preparing the hospital and the foundation for its upcoming nine-figure centennial campaign which will address initiatives to improve access and delivery of pediatric healthcare across the state.
