All in Campaign Consultants
A good capital campaign consultant understands that it is the client’s willingness to foster and build win-win relationships that drives success, not the consultant’s willingness to share connections. It is through strategizing with your consultant that you will develop a list of donors and prospective donors with true philanthropic interest in your project.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) can be a valuable tool in evaluating capital campaign consultants, but be sure to use it at the right time. And download our free Capital Campaign Consultant RFP sample!
This challenge we face in fundraising – fear – precisely aligns with The Golden Rule. You see, this rule can’t be simplified into “be nice to other people.” It’s much deeper. It’s about dignity. It is about being brave enough to expect the same level of accountability, maturity or civility from others as we do from ourselves.

Is your nonprofit is considering a capital campaign? Then you’re also likely considering a capital campaign consultant. Campaign consultants bring their professional expertise and management skills to your organization, key aspects to completing a successful capital campaign. But where do you start when selecting a campaign consultant for your nonprofit? Start by gathering a pool of five to seven consulting companies to investigate and ask these questions.
A pivot may mean quieting your campaign for a short amount of time, but never go silent. We’ve seen from donor surveys and from our active campaigns that donors are still out there and may be inclined to give now more than ever. Keep the lines of communication open and continue with the campaign process as much as possible.
