Is now the right time to launch a capital campaign? The truth is, there’s rarely a perfect moment. But the right vision, one that’s clearly articulated, deeply rooted in mission, and backed by community support, can spark transformative giving at any time. Two essential tools can help clarify your vision and test your readiness: the Needs Assessment and the Campaign Planning Study.
There are five very basic stages to plan for if you’d like your capital campaign to be successful. If you are considering the transformative decision to embark on a capital campaign, study them now.
CampaignCounsel.org believes we have developed the most comprehensive pre-campaign planning study in the industry. To help potential clients understand the differences between a pre-campaign planning study and a feasibility study, and to help them understand the important questions to ask, we present the following issues for nonprofits to consider when interviewing capital campaign consultants.
Achieving your nonprofit’s fundraising goal is dependent upon your campaign leaders incorporating the Campaign Planning Study findings into the organization’s comprehensive campaign plan.
In one of our recent workshops, a participant asked a great question: “What do you see as being the biggest indicators of capital campaign success or failure?” Money is almost always an issue, but it’s not the best indicator of your campaign’s potential success or failure. The best indicator of capital campaign success or failure is found within the leadership of your administrators and board of directors.
