CAPITAL CAMPAIGN SUPPORT
01
Feasibility studies
Confidential interviews with key givers and leaders, capacity analysis, and an honest go/no-go read — before a single dollar is asked.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN SUPPORT
Build the case before you build the building.
Capital campaigns most often fail before they start — when organizations ask before they know what their community will support. We bring feasibility-first discipline to fundraising for buildings, expansions, renovations, and endowments, so you ask with confidence instead of hope.
WHAT WE BUILD WITH YOU
Everything the ask depends on.
The work produces the study, the story, the math, and the plan a campaign needs before it goes public.
02
Case for support
The narrative, documents, and materials that make the case compelling to givers, boards, and the community.
03
Gift charts
Gift range charts that show exactly what it will take — how many gifts, at what levels — so the goal is a plan, not a wish.
04
Pledge forms & materials
Pledge cards, commitment forms, timelines, and communications for the quiet and public phases.
05
Campaign strategy
Phase planning, volunteer leadership structure, timelines, and counsel through the campaign.
A WORD ON INDEPENDENCEFlat project fees — never a percentage of funds raised. Our counsel stays independent because our pay doesn’t depend on the total.
HOW THE WORK UNFOLDS
Four steps, in order.
Each engagement is scoped during a discovery call, shaped by the project, the timeline, and the readiness of the giving base.
