Capital Campaign Strategy Session

Capital Campaign Strategy Session Request

raise funds Capital Campaigns are a HUGE opportunity to raise lots of money and reap other benefits, too!

Unfortunately, most campaigns get started…then stall out, never reaching their goal. And we get it – it can be intimidating to ask for 6 and 7-figure gifts. There’s a LOT of strategy involved in asking the right people at the right time, but with a plan and a process, you can do it.

You only get one chance every 5-10 years to do a capital campaign, so let’s be sure you do it right and maximize your fundraising potential. We’ve helped many clients successfully navigate the waters from contemplating a campaign to celebrating reaching the goal. And we can help you, too.

Please tell us a little about what’s on your mind and what you need most so we can figure out how we can best serve you.

Fair warning: if you’re looking for the chance to simply “pick our brain” to find ideas or get free advice, that’s not what this is for. Our free capital campaign consultation is meant to help you evaluate your capital campaign readiness and decide if our services are right to help your organization reach it’s capital campaign goals. Please be prepared to spend about 30 minutes discussing your needs.
