The Fundamentals of Capital Fundraising

The Fundamentals of Capital Fundraising
Bruce will present the fundamentals of a capital campaign for your organization. He will review what needs to be determined prior to the decision to launch a campaign, how to identify and approach donor prospects, and how to develop a timeline and budget. Perhaps more importantly, he will share stories on the successes and failures from over a dozen capital campaigns he has been the leader for or the campaign consultant. Time for lots of questions because each campaign is unique.

This is a hybrid workshop, in Springfield and on Zoom.
