CAPITAL CAMPAIGN SUPPORT
01
Feasibility studies
A feasibility study quietly checks what your people are able and willing to give before you ask. Private conversations with key givers and leaders help you decide honestly whether to proceed.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN SUPPORT
Build the case before you build the building.
Before asking people to fund a building, expansion, renovation, or endowment, you need to know what they can support. We quietly check that first, then help you build a clear case for giving, a gift chart, and a campaign plan—so you ask with confidence, not just hope.
WHAT WE BUILD WITH YOU
What you need before you ask.
You leave with a clear picture of giving support, a story people can understand, the gifts needed to reach your goal, and a plan for the campaign.
02
Case for support
Your case for support explains why the project matters, who it helps, and why people should give. We build the story and materials with you.
03
Gift charts
A gift chart shows how many gifts, at what sizes, it takes to reach the goal. It turns the total into a plan you can work with.
04
Pledge forms & materials
Clear forms for giving commitments, timelines, and messages—first for private conversations with key givers, then for the wider public invitation.
05
Campaign strategy
A plan for each stage, clear volunteer roles, a timeline, and advice as the campaign moves forward.
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.
We agree on the work during a discovery call, based on your project, timeline, and how ready your supporters are to give.
- STEP 01
Study
Talk privately with potential givers and check what they are able and willing to support.
- STEP 02
Case
Explain why the project matters and map how many gifts, at what sizes, would reach the goal.
- STEP 03
Plan
Set the campaign stages, volunteer roles, and timeline.
- STEP 04
Campaign
Support through the quiet phase—private conversations with key givers—and the public phase, when everyone is invited to give. Then help with celebration and following up on commitments.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Organizations preparing to ask.
Congregations and faith-based nonprofits preparing a capital campaign for facilities, expansion, or endowment — ideally 6–12 months before the public launch.
