Campaign Feasibility, Planning and Ongoing Support

Many nonprofit organizations today are in a constant capital campaign mode due to the ever-increasing reliance on major philanthropic support to achieve organizational strategic goals. Campaign success requires a focused approach during all stages of the campaign.

Feasibility Studies

A successful capital campaign begins with a thorough assessment of your philanthropic capacity in relation to your case for support. Based upon your needs, we will work with you to identify and recruit a volunteer steering committee, develop the preliminary case for support, and identify appropriate study interview candidates.

Through an individually-designed, in-depth questionnaire, our study will provide an invaluable opportunity to present your case to those who can have the most impact on your campaign's success. The study will determine attitudes and identify potential issues. It will assess the strength of the case for support and determine the availability of committed leadership and project a realistic campaign goal to ensure your success.

Planning and Support

For a capital campaign to succeed, you not only need a thorough assessment before the campaign but effective planning and support throughout all stages of the campaign. Henderson Mallory Partners offers a wide range of campaign services including:
