Campaign Planning Study
Engaging your staff, leadership, and prospective donors in a discussion about what you’re trying to accomplish and how to get there.
Your Roadmap to Success
Our Campaign Planning Services leverage quantitative and qualitative insights to evaluate the feasibility of a campaign and uncover opportunities to grow overall fundraising capacity. Our work includes an assessment of goal attainment as well as a deeper look at an organization’s case for support, volunteer and staff leadership capacity, donor engagement strategies, and fundraising infrastructure.
As your partner, we will unpack the intricacies of campaign success, pose critical questions, and work together to determine a bold but achievable goal. We will work to address the strategic areas that underlie campaign success and organizational growth, including:
Case for Support
Which individual projects are most philanthropically compelling and next steps for communicating an overarching campaign vision to potential supporters.
Donor Engagement
Strategies and adjustments for identifying, prioritizing, and engaging prospects needed.
Volunteer Leadership
Individuals who have the potential to play leadership roles in the campaign, as well as strategies for engaging, training, and organizing volunteers.
Internal Preparedness
Adjustments to fundraising organizational structure and benchmarks for staff to ensure all fundraising is being conducted effectively and efficiently.
