The Challenge

FareStart works tirelessly to bring its program to as many adults and youth as possible and has experienced incredible growth and expansion in recent years.

Since 2001, FareStart has looked to Campbell & Company's Northwest team for help with growing philanthropy for a variety of needs, from finding a permanent home to enrolling more students to making its social enterprise model replicable nationwide through its Catalyst Kitchens network.

The Process

FareStart first retained our Northwest team in 2001 to test the feasibility of a major capital campaign for a new facility and successfully completed the $8 million "Futures Rising" campaign.

In 2011, we provided counsel to help FareStart establish the Circle of Impact, its major donor program, and launch its planned giving effort.

In 2014, we were engaged to advise FareStart on how best to double philanthropic support to achieve the vision set out in its five-year strategic platform.
