FareStart

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.

“Campbell & Company always provides valuable insight and practical recommendations that have significantly assisted FareStart in growing and sustaining our philanthropic resources.”

-Michelle McDaniel, Chief Development Officer, FareStart

The Impact

Campbell & Company’s counsel was instrumental in helping FareStart with its first capital campaign and to scale philanthropy to its overall growth since. As a result of the move into its new headquarters in Seattle’s downtown core in 2007, FareStart was able to double its number of students and graduates within five years.

In 2017, Amazon.com donated equipment and space in Seattle’s South Lake Union to FareStart so it can open five new eateries and launch a new apprenticeship program. As FareStart’s national leadership rapidly expands Catalyst Kitchens, the positive impact of its work is being felt here and across the country.
