  • To discuss the importance of a campaign plan.

Course Overview

A capital campaign is a targeted fundraising effort that takes place over a defined period of time. It requires coordination and cooperation from the organization and community. Without the support of board members, staff, and individuals within the area, a capital campaign has little to no chance of succeeding.

When you hear the words "capital campaign," do you think about the "pain" part of the process?

Yes, a campaign can be disruptive to your organization and consume a lot of staff and volunteer time. But it can be a tremendous asset to your organization in two ways.

First, you are able to achieve your goal of a new building, an expanded facility, an endowment for the future. Second, a campaign, when done right, will strengthen your organization overall.

In this E-Book for CPAs the Author Linda Lysakowski has discussed the following major topics:

  • How to get the basic infrastructure in place to ensure that your campaign will be run efficiently and effectively?
  • What is the role of the board, staff, and volunteers in your campaign?
  • Answering the tricky, and sometimes debatable, question: Do we need to do a planning/feasibility study, or not? (The answers to this question might surprise you.)

This CPE E-book talks about the role of a consultant in the campaign. The consultant is not the magic bullet that will go out and raise the money for you. A campaign is a team effort, but most campaigns require some level of help from an outside consultant. This CPE E-book covers what level of help your organization needs from a consultant and, if you decide to engage a consultant, it will show you how to find the right one.

Also, one of the keys to a successful campaign is finding donors to support your campaign, and how to solicit gifts that meet the needs of the donors and the organization.

We will also talk about life after the campaign and how you can build a stronger organization moving forward.
