COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENTS
Campbell & Company’s development assessments are designed to uncover the key strategies you can implement today to take advantage of your best fundraising opportunities.  We help you determine where to focus your resources and how to adjust under-performing program areas for short-term results, and we work with you to develop the longer-term objectives that will guide your department for years to come. 

Equipped with best practices, industry benchmarks and Campbell & Company’s proven assessment methodology, our team of experts examines development performance and structure—program by program—and engages your executive leadership, Board and development staff to determine the most effective strategies to help you reach your goals.

We examine all areas of a development program from resource allocation to program efficiency, from cultivation and solicitation strategies to staff and infrastructure support. Our reports typically include a three-year timeline for implementing recommendations, with clearly stated goals and objectives and a focus on return on investment.

Our development assessments culminate in both targeted and strategic recommendations to strengthen relationships with prospects, donors and volunteers; move your fundraising programs forward; communicate a powerful and compelling case; build consensus among leadership and stakeholders; and align your staff and systems most effectively.  Our goal is not only to determine what opportunities you take advantage of immediately, but also to help you build a more robust, sustainable development program over the long term.

In addition to this in-depth service, we also offer Fast-Forward Assessments aimed at quickly identifying the most important fundraising strategies you can implement immediately.  This cost-effective new assessment is sized for your organization and designed to help focus their staff talents and resources to increase current fundraising capacity, improve ROI and prepare to emerge from the current economic downturn stronger than before.

We also offer in-depth program assessments in areas such as Major and Planned Giving, Annual Giving, and Donor Relations.  Our experts can work with you to plan for and develop a new program or evaluate and strengthen your existing program, all with the objective of helping you achieve your philanthropic goals.
