AUDITIs your capital campaign destined to reach its goal on time and within budget? Here are a few questions to consider:
Need/Benefit: why are you considering a campaign? Is it because your leadership simply wants the money, or is it because there is a clear need with measurable benefits? Leadership: you can't do this alone! Are your board and community leaders able and/or willing to actively participate in your campaign? Capacity: has your 'family' (your staff, volunteers and board members) been evaluated on and educated about the demands of a capital campaign? Traditional feasibility studies do not spend sufficient time auditing the nonprofit's ability to conduct a campaign. Is the board ready? Is the staff ready? Are key leaders within the community prepared to participate? Don't waste time and money by focusing on external constituencies before determining your internal capacity. Your campaign begins at home, with you, your staff, your leadership... and that's where your campaign planning process should begin! |
PLANConducting a traditional feasibility study is an outdated approach, especially if your organization is facing unique circumstances. You need to know more than feasibility; you need to know who, what, when, where and why... and how.
Who are your best prospects for major gifts and leadership? What is your best case for support? When should your campaign and the phases within your campaign occur? Where is a successful campaign going to take your organization and community? Why are philanthropists going to invest personal and financial capital in your campaign as opposed to another? How should your campaign position its case to optimize support? CampaignCounsel.org partners with clients to discover the best means to raise capital. Campaign Planning is much more than 'feasibility'. It involves sharing everything we learn with the client to discover the best case for support, leaders, donors and plan. CampaignCounsel.org's Campaign Planning provides all the tools you will need to start a campaign, regardless if we are hired to manage the campaign. |
