Capital
Campaigns
Led by Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE, President, Capital
Venture
How can you know whether your campaign will succeed?
Whether for "bricks and mortar" or a special project
or program, all major fundraising campaigns face the same challenges.
Many organizations enter into a capital campaign without understanding
the pitfalls that can wait for those who are unprepared for the
intense pace, the public scrutiny and the pressure of meeting the
campaign goal in a timely manner.
If you've never run a major campaign, this will be the most valuable
investment of time and money you'll make this year.
This fast paced session will
guide you through seven areas in which many organizations lose
their way.
Is your organization considering a campaign of $500,000
to $10,000,000? If
so, this workshop is for you. Linda
will discuss the problems many campaigns encounter.
Seven Essential Building Blocks to Help You Avoid the
Pitfalls of Capital Campaigns, topics to be addressed:
- Campaign Preparation
- The Campaign and The Overall Development Program
- Campaigns and Special Events
- The Importance of Campaign Materials
- Fair - Share Giving
- The Unnecessary Consultant
