How to Plan a Capital Campaign — Step by Step
A capital campaign is a focused effort by a nonprofit to raise a significant amount of money for a specific goal within a defined timeframe. This could include:
Constructing a new facility
Expanding programs
Investing in new technology
The common thread? It’s all about advancing the organization’s mission and serving the community more effectively.
Yes, It’s a Big Undertaking
Capital campaigns can be overwhelming — there are many moving parts and variables to consider. At DonorSigns.com, we regularly work with clients who are either launching or completing their capital campaigns, and we know how intense the process can be.
Fortunately, there’s expert guidance available. We recommend an excellent article from Capital Campaign Masters that outlines a clear, step-by-step process to plan and execute a successful capital campaign.
“Every successful capital campaign has several phases with specific strategies for each one. If you go step-by-step through the correct sequence of each phase, you’ll set up your campaign so it’s most likely to reach (and even surpass) the goal.”
