CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS

"Capital campaigns" do not necessarily mean "bricks and mortar." A capital campaign is a perfect vehicle for any major fundraising initiative to secure new and/or increased funding for specific programs, projects, or special initiatives. Our approach positions you as a valuable community asset. Our team of fundraising experts manage all of the day-to-day details and actually "makes the ask" for funding, ensuring you cross the finish line on time and under budget.

NOT QUITE READY FOR A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN?

Why do some nonprofit fundraising campaigns consistently exceed their goals? We found the answer to this important question looking back at over 25 years of fundraising experience and hundreds of campaigns we’ve managed. The organizations that were successful all had what we term Asking Rights™, which incorporates three things: Credibility, Fundraising Skills, and Outcomes.

When nonprofits begin a fundraising campaign too soon, without having first earned Asking Rights, they may end up leaving money on the table by not knowing who to ask, how much to ask for, or how to make the ask. On the other hand, waiting too long to initiate a major fundraising effort can have you missing out on valuable opportunities as well. Our Resource Development services can help you assess your organization, learn to monetize your outcomes, and plan next steps so your nonprofit can reach funding sustainability and exceed your fundraising goals in the future. These services are ideal for organizations that:

  • Have had development staff turnover or have no development staff and need support
  • Would like better credibility in the community and deeper investor relations programs
  • Have that fantastic donor database… but have no idea what to do with it or how to use it to bring in dollars 
  • Need to establish or improve specific funding efforts such as annual campaign, planned giving, or endowment campaigns
