Support at every stage of the campaign
Feasibility
A critical step in the capital campaign process, feasibility work helps leadership understand how donors and key stakeholders view the proposed campaign and assess potential resources before a public launch.
Planning & Implementation
Once a campaign moves forward, we help structure the work and coach leaders through implementation.
Back-office systems
We also support the administrative systems that keep pledges, acknowledgments, communications, reporting, and other campaign details moving.
Campaigns build on a strong culture of giving
Organizations are best-fit for a capital campaign when they have already developed a strong culture of fundraising or stewardship support. To assess your organization’s readiness for a capital campaign, see our article, which provides a campaign readiness checklist.
