ASSESSMENT
PLANNING
Detroit Philanthropy will draft a case for support, providing a compelling rationale for financial support, campaign objectives, ways to support, and expected outcomes.
We will develop a comprehensive campaign plan that sets campaign priorities and provides the framework and timeline for the life of the campaign.
We will help select, organize, and train the campaign leadership team. Having a strong leadership team is one of the most vital aspects of a campaign.
EXECUTION
Detroit Philanthropy will work with campaign leadership to implement a phased approach for cultivating and soliciting donors. Utilizing the research gathered in the planning phase, targeted donor solicitation strategies will be developed to engage key donors/prospects.
The first phase will focus on leadership gifts, followed by pace-setter and major gifts, and finally broader community gifts. Within each of these gift categories, customized strategies will be developed to engage individual donors, corporations and foundations.
WRAP UP
Once all commitments have been received and the campaign goal is met, Detroit Philanthropy will assist with campaign wrap-up, which will involve: finalizing all financial commitments, closing out campaign activities, implementing the donor recognition plan, developing a long-term stewardship plan and assisting with the final campaign celebration event(s) and announcement.
