Whether you are building a new facility or renovating your existing structures, Giving Tree will work with your organization to develop a strategy for a capital campaign that aligns with all of your other fundraising efforts. We have extensive experience developing and executing capital campaigns and other long-term fundraising programs.
Prior to launching a capital campaign you must assess the needs and clearly articulate them in a case statement. The case statement will enable you to explain to potential donors exactly what the needs are, the funding requirements to meet those needs and your plans for reaching those goals.
We will also work with your team to develop a feasibility study that will assess the potential fundraising capacity of your target donors. A typical feasibility study involves a series of interviews with current and past board members, current and past staff, donors, volunteers, clients and other community partners. The study will help determine how well your community understands the importance of the proposed capital improvements, and to what extent your organization can realistically achieve the financial targets necessary to execute on the project in the expected period of time.
Giving Tree Associates will partner with your organization to evaluate the best approach to meet the funding needs.
