All in Feasibility Study
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.
Whether you’re preparing the initial stages of your campaign planning study or the final phases of your campaign fundraising, process and strategy are at the heart of everything you’re doing. Now is not the time to abandon this; in fact, it is time to double-down on your communication and fundraising plan for the upcoming weeks.
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.
CampaignCounsel.org offers a no-fee, no obligation Capital Campaign Workshop. This workshop is conducted at your location or through a virtual meeting for your board members, key volunteers and senior staff. Some organizations have even invited community leaders and major-gift donors to the workshop as a cultivation and education activity.
Capital Campaign Stages and Stalls is a series of articles providing a simple overview of the stages a nonprofit will go through in its capital campaign journey, along with the most common times the process can stall. In Part 1, we explore Stages One and Two: Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study.
