James Phelps - Capital Campaigns

Capital campaigns are a specialized branch of fundraising, and for good reason. They are typically longer-term, high-target fundraising, and require strong community support with plenty of planning and momentum. It is not uncommon for organizations to discover that their capital campaign is in need of far more work than they anticipated. Whether you are just getting started, or find your capital campaign stalled halfway to the finish line, a fresh outside perspective can help you reach your goals.

Creating and managing a comprehensive communications plan leads to elevated awareness about your nonprofit's good work in the community. A good plan includes a realistic social media strategy, motivating website content, and strong media relations. Understanding your organization's place in the overall community will lead to more focused messaging about your mission and engage more donors to support your work.
