DELIVERABLES

A regimented Campaign Planning Study is imperative in helping a nonprofit develop its fundraising plan. The Bradley Associates Campaign Planning Study focuses on numerous key questions, which need answering before moving forward, including:

Verify that the Capital Campaign is practical, has merit and that the dollars to be expended will produce significant results.

We will recommend a campaign goal based on the interviews and our experience in the Western United States.

Determine the support of the Case among prospective large contributors and current donors, and determine which elements of the Case are most dramatic and appealing to them on a scale of priorities for accomplishing your objectives.

We will determine the strengths and weaknesses of your Case to raise funds for the project.

Should any challenging factors exist, we will indicate how these are to be addressed. Positive factors will be described and a plan suggested so that these may be enhanced and developed to their full advantage, which will allow us to develop a campaign timeline.

Evaluate the public’s image of your organization.

Evaluate the project in relation to the potential donors in your community.

Uncover, early, any problems or situations that could adversely affect fundraising results, along with competing campaigns.

Consider and analyze the current local economy and other issues in your community as they relate to fundraising for your organization.

Identify the availability of leadership and determine their willingness to step up and accept key campaign positions. The Study will provide us with information from which we can recommend men and women of the caliber required who can be expected to fill key roles in your campaign.

Determine the impact of a Capital Campaign on your annual giving.

Design a chart of giving for your campaign and supply you with an achievable financial objective.

Develop the shortest critical path and calendar, which will allow for production of maximum results, taking into consideration the scope of the program, probable size of the prospect list and the special characteristics of the appeal.

Recommend the precise timing for all phases of the effort and specific suggestions for an orderly sequence of preparatory steps. Major accomplishment deadlines will be established within the total time frame.

Evaluate the environment for planned giving. We will ask the interviewees if they have included your organization in their estate plan, and if not, will they consider it. Endowment is a part of the Study. » Bradley Associates Consultants - Deliverables
