A Capital or Comprehensive Campaign is an exciting and important undertaking in the life of a nonprofit organization! But is your organization ready? Do you have the organizational capacity to support this effort? Are your staff and volunteers ready to take on this major project? How will a campaign impact your organization’s operations? These are critical questions, among others, that you need to evaluate prior to launching a campaign.
Learn from two fundraising champions in our region, both past AFP Fundraiser of the Year awardees. Becca Merrell, Executive Vice President at Netzel Grigsby Associates will lead this workshop to help you analyze your organization’s readiness and discuss the necessary preparation steps, based on her experience with many nonprofit organizations. Joining her in this session will be Anne Paul King, Executive Director of the Ventura College Foundation. Anne is in the silent phase of a major comprehensive campaign and will share some of her experiences and advice. Get ready to launch a capital or comprehensive campaign!
Workshop participants will gain:
- Clear understanding of the elements of successful campaigns and the role that readiness plays.
- Clear understanding of the key elements that impact campaign success.
- Evaluation of participant’s organizational readiness.
- Steps to improve readiness.
This workshop is appropriate for those with some nonprofit fundraising experience, including board members, development directors and executive directors.
