CAPITAL CAMPAIGN COUNSEL

Detroit Philanthropy is a licensed professional fundraiser offering strategic campaign counsel, planning and execution.  With more than 25 years of experience, our four step process will provide the experience and resources needed to ensure a successful capital campaign.

  • Depending on the size and scope of your project, we will interview 20-40 stakeholders to validate assumptions about their readiness and commitment to undertake a significant fundraising campaign.

  • Based on the interview feedback and data/information reviewed, we will draft a comprehensive feasibility study report, which will provide recommendations for helping you execute a successful campaign.

ASSESSMENT

PLANNING

  • To ensure we are fully briefed on your project and goals, we will undertake a comprehensive review of materials and information.

  • We will conduct a thorough review of your current donor data to gauge potential campaign support and identify giving trends.

  • Depending on the status of your case for support, we will work with you to develop and/or finalize the document.

EXECUTION

  • A comprehensive campaign plan with identified campaign priorities will be developed and monitored.

  • We will help select, organize, and train the campaign leadership team and provide guidance on actively engaging your board in the campaign.

  • A phased approach for cultivating and soliciting donors will be developed, providing customized strategies for engaging individual donors, corporations and foundations at all gift levels.

WRAP UP

  • Once the campaign goal is met, we will finalize all financial commitments, close out campaign activities, implement the donor recognition plan, develop a long-term stewardship plan and assist with the final campaign celebration event and announcement.
