Launching a capital campaign is the most effective way to dramatically expand an organization’s possibilities. It requires a coherent and compelling plan, a circle of committed donors, and a team of willing solicitors. This workshop will help you evaluate whether your organization is ready, and what you need to do before you ask for your first gift. An additional goal of this workshop is to take the mystery and intimidation out of face to face fund raising.
