We ensure all capital campaign elements are aligned for fundraising success

Our philosophy is that you should not pay us for things we can help you do by leveraging our fundraising campaign expertise while maximizing your resources.  Once we have determined the resources that are available to you, we can design a capital campaign plan that minimizes your investment in outside campaign counsel while transferring the skills and knowledge necessary to get the job done.  This approach accomplishes three very important objectives:

Because you will be working with the fundraising A-team to coach and train, and through the effective use of technology, you can focus your investment in capital campaign counsel where it can have the greatest immediate and long-term return.

In 1999, there were 1,202,573 non-profit organizations in the United States registered with the IRS. By 2009, that number had increased to 1,581,111, an increase of 32%. This astounding increase illustrates the growing competition for donor dollars.

The Nonprofit Research Collaborative recently reported that the increased demand for services and stagnant funding growth since late 2008 have created urgent needs to move forward with capital campaign planning.  While only 12% of responding organizations were in a campaign, 34% were planning a capital campaign or special purpose campaign soon.

Effective planning for a formal campaign can’t start early enough and should be a comprehensive, collaborative process.  If you’re considering embarking on a Capital Campaign, you owe it to yourself and your organization to spend one hour learning how to ensure your campaign’s success.  During this online training you’ll learn the essential elements of a successful capital campaign using best-practices, practical experience and specific examples.  At conclusion, you’ll be able to:

•understand what it takes to conduct a successful capital campaign
•create a comprehensive campaign business plan
•make informed decisions on how to proceed with a campaign.

“I had the opportunity to work with Daniel Neel on a capital campaign to raise $12 million for Cleveland Central Catholic High School.  His genuine personal interest in us and our mission is what impressed me most.  His focus on us and our needs made us feel like we were his only priority at all times.”

“Daniel provided significant guidance to us in developing the complex business case for our capital campaign.  His due diligence and obvious wealth of development knowledge added greatly to our success.
