A capital campaign is a major undertaking that requires significant advanced planning and engagement of people highly experienced in the campaign process. For this reason, a short-term consultation should not be viewed as adequate preparation for implementation of a capital campaign except, on occasion, when your organization already has on-staff people highly experienced in the campaign process.

While most of our work is with clients who use our services throughout the campaign process, we also assist organizations prior to launching a campaign in discernment of next steps in the planning process. Specifically, we work with organizations in determining whether or not they are well positioned to clearly articulate their institutional goals (and campaign priorities) and move forward with undertaking a campaign feasibility study.

Key elements of a 1-2 day on-site consultation include:

• Understanding the campaign process, what is required, and the fundamental principles leading to a successful campaign.
• Evaluation of internal operations and staffing for a campaign.
• Specific discussion as to the impact of the campaign on your organization both during the campaign and following its completion.
• Readiness for a campaign feasibility study and an overview of the feasibility study process.
