HISTORY
The Cunneen Company is a national, full-service Catholic fundraising firm offering capital campaigns, increased offertory programs, Stewardship appeals, feasibility studies, donor recognition programs and parish communications services. Frank J. Cunneen, the founder of The Cunneen Company, began his Catholic Fundraising career in 1965 when he was introduced to diocesan and parish fundraising.

In 1981, Frank founded Cunneen Parish Fundraising and introduced an entirely new approach to Catholic Offertory Appeals. The concept included personalized letters from the pastor to his parishioners, and a plan where Cunneen Fundraising did all or most of the work. At that time, these concepts were new in Catholic parish fundraising. They are still very unique and have made a major contribution to our record of success. Today, we continue to bring these and many other unique benefits to the Capital Campaign.
