We begin major endowment and capital campaigns with a feasibility and market survey (Philanthropic Planning Study). We then develop a comprehensive fund raising plan and approach based on the organization's particular capacities and circumstances.
Seven essentials are needed for a successful campaign:
an organization deemed worthy of support and believed to have the ability to accomplish its mission;
a strong, urgent and well-documented case for support;
prospective donors with the financial capability to support the campaign at the necessary levels;
strong volunteer leadership;
the right philanthropic environment and timing for the campaign;
competent and objective professional staff & fund raising counsel;
Board members who are committed to and enthusiastic supporters of the long-range plan and the campaign.
Farr Associates Consulting, LLC can furnish a resident campaign manager or serve as a consultant to the organization's development staff for the campaign.
