Is your nonprofit org ready to build a new facility, start an
endowment, or make a major purchase that would significantly
improve your ability to fulfill your mission? Then you may find
yourself wanting to launch a capital campaign. Before you do,
listen to this week and next week's podcasts to make sure you know
the steps that will ensure your success. A capital campaign takes a
lot of time, money, and energy, so before you go running off asking
for big gifts, make sure you are ready to go the distance.
I'm joined again by my fundraising coach, Lynn Terelle of
Terelle & Graham Consulting (https://www.terellegrahamconsulting.org/). Lynn
shares her process and approach to a capital campaign and explains
why they take so much effort to produce results.
This week we are talking about the first three steps in the
four-step process of running a capital campaign. Those steps are
the planning phase, the silent phase, and the lead/major gifts
phase. Since this was such a long, detailed conversation, I decided
to split it in two. Next week's episode will be about the public
phase of a campaign and then we'll talk about best practices,
common mistakes, and other things to help you succeed with your
fundraising.
This is a great episode to take notes, so grab a pen and paper
to keep handy as you're doing whatever you're doing.
