Description

In this episode, hosts Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt share a quick 15-minute readiness quiz to determine if your organization is ready for a capital campaign. Whether you're considering a million or $100 million campaign, these three simple questions will guide you in assessing your preparedness.

Question 1: What's the purpose of your campaign? Discover why it's crucial to articulate a compelling case that resonates beyond your organization and learn the key elements that make your cause stand out.
Question 2: Who are your top 20 donors? Identify the individuals, corporations, and foundations capable of making significant contributions to propel your campaign forward. Amy and Andrea provide insights into creating a gift range chart to target those transformative gifts.
Question 3: Who's already engaged? Once you've listed your potential donors, pinpoint those who are already connected and involved in your project. Learn why this step is critical to gauging your campaign's feasibility.
