Do you have a trusted nonprofit capital campaign consultant to help you raise the money you need for your cause?

Many fundraising teams at charitable organizations seek to hire trusted nonprofit consulting firms to help them implement a successful capital campaign.

Our capital campaign fundraising firm of highly experienced, professional fundraising consultants offers proven ways to help charities meet their fundraising challenges and reach their capital campaign goals.

With our data-driven Campaigns By The Numbers methodology, we conduct deep prospect research to identify your unique risks and opportunities and create a strategic, step-by-step plan for your capital campaign and your organization.

Our approach is not cookie-cutter. As a smaller boutique firm, we take a deeply customized approach to capital campaign planning. You receive customized fundraising strategies that are designed exactly for your organization. Your institution is unique, and it deserves a specially designed, strategic plan to raise money and reach its financial potential.

Our feasibility studies tell you not whether you can mount a campaign, but exactly HOW to structure the campaign to reach your goals. We give your staff a roadmap to follow – of what needs to happen when – to help achieve success and scale your nonprofit organization’s growth and reach.

As an added benefit, we include our world-class training programs and board workshops to help our clients improve their skills, and inspire their boards to embrace philanthropy.

We’re with you every step of the way, inspiring your teams and board members, building confidence, driving action and measuring success.

Campaign planning feasibility studies.

When the stakes are high, testing the market before you launch a major campaign is a vital step. We can’t overemphasize the importance of a well-done Feasibility Study. This study actually provides the basis for a great campaign strategy.

We use the feasibility interviews to pre-sell prospects on your campaign. In the study, we can identify your potential campaign chairs and find out what it will take to recruit them.

Our approach to capital campaign planning gives you a blueprint for success: where the money will come from, and how to go after it, what turns donors on about your cause and what they think of your organization, and what are the correct steps to launch a successful capital campaign.

A training retreat just for your board members.

We often include our popular, high-energy training for board members as part of every campaign. We use experiential exercises and discussion topics, to explain capital campaign strategy and make fundraising seem more enjoyable for your leaders as they raise awareness of your cause.

Your board members will get over their fear of fundraising, and find roles to support the campaign where they can be productive, happy and comfortable. You emerge with a re-committed, re-energized board, ready to go to work to make the campaign a smashing success.

Even one year ago, the notion that we would mount a successful Capital campaign seemed a remote and foreign improbability. But with your help we have made it tangible and the talk of the town.”
