Is your nonprofit ready for a capital campaign? A professionally conducted feasibility study is the critical first step toward launching a successful campaign. At Convergent Nonprofit Solutions, we specialize in data-driven feasibility studies that go far beyond traditional surveys. We gather candid insights from funders, stakeholders, and community leaders to assess readiness, identify challenges, and uncover untapped support.
Our approach provides more than just a go/no-go recommendation. It offers a clear, actionable roadmap to strengthen your case for investment, align internal stakeholders, and position your organization for long-term fundraising success.
Why a Feasibility Study Matters
A feasibility study helps your organization:
Evaluate campaign readiness - Understand if your organization has the credibility, support, and infrastructure to move forward confidently.
Engage funders early - We don’t ask if they might give. We ask how much they would invest in your initiative, and why.
Test your case for support - Identify what resonates with donors and refine your messaging before your capital campaign begins.
Minimize risk, maximize results - Avoid missteps and build a campaign plan rooted in real-time community feedback and proven fundraising insights.
Our Distinct Approach
Unlike traditional consultants, Convergent delivers feasibility studies through a "listen first" model. We lead one-on-one conversations with decision-makers and funders who are most likely to support your mission. Our studies are not theoretical — they are rooted in our Asking Rights™ philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of ROI-driven storytelling and trust-building with investors.
Every study includes:
Customized interviews with major stakeholders
Quantitative and qualitative analysis
Investment-grade data, not just opinions
A full readiness assessment and recommendations
A clear path forward, whether or not you're ready to launch

Testimonials
Andrew Keenan
“The fact that Convergent could make the ask was huge. Working with our director and joining solicitations made me a better fundraiser – that was the right formula for us. Moving forward I feel much more confident in making asks and telling our story, and that is going to make us more sustainable in the long run.”
Andrew Keenan, Executive Director Callanwolde Fine Arts Center | Atlanta, GA
Lisa Zaken
“In the span of six short months, our Board went from being nervous about the initial campaign investment to being ecstatic with the attainment of our goal, and our subsequent stretch goal! Convergent can do it like no other. Their system is rigorous and extremely effective. We have nothing but great things to say about this organization!”

“The strategy and support offered by Convergent helped our Board expand its vision for the Foundation, which in turn helped to refocus and redefine our organization's impact in our community.

Phillip Aldridge
“I wanted to thank everyone from the Convergent team who assisted in our campaign. Of the varying ways the campaign’s success may be measured, I count it a blessing that we achieved what we did. Not just the funds committed but the contacts made, the level of exposure reached, and ultimately, what the funds and exposure mean in terms of how many more we now serve as a result. My thanks is in recognition and appreciation for Convergent serving as our fundraising counsel and for the patience and professionalism demonstrated throughout the campaign. You were a godsend for Valley Healthcare!”
Phillip Aldridge, Board Chair Valley Healthcare System | Colombus, GA
Jeff Taylor
“Early in our campaign feasibility study it became apparent that we lacked the Asking Rights necessary to conduct a capital campaign. As a result, Convergent’s knowledgeable consultants prepared an extensive plan of action that is a road map for growing our awareness and philanthropy. A successful capital campaign will be possible in the near future. Their entrepreneurial approach will definitely get you where you want to go.”
Jeff Taylor, CEO MedCura Health, formerly Oakhurst Medical Center | Stone Mountain, GA
