Are You Ready for a Capital Campaign? Assessing Your Nonprofit's Ability to Run a Major Fundraising Campaign by Linda Lysakowski
If your organization is considering a capital, endowment, or other major fundraising campaign, Are You Ready for a Capital Campaign? by Linda Lysakowski will help you assess: * Whether you have a donor prospect pool for major campaign gifts. * Whether you have planned adequately for the campaign. * Whether your board is willing to step up to support the campaign. * Whether your staff has sufficient time to devote to the campaign. * Whether you have the right policies and procedures in place. * Whether your community is ready for the campaign. * How well your software system can manage a campaign. Written as a workbook, it's designed to walk you through, step by step, the process of assessing your nonprofit's ability to run a major fundraising campaign. It can be used in conjunction with the book Capital Campaigns: The Basics and Beyond, also by Linda Lysakowski. This workbook is part of the popular CharityChannel In the Trenches series. You'll know an In the Trenches books, workbooks and manuals not just by their covers, but by their authors' fun, upbeat writing style. But don't be fooled by their down-to-earth approach and ample use of sidebars. In the Trenches books are authoritative and cover what a beginner should know to get started and progress rapidly, and what a more experienced nonprofit-sector practitioner needs to move forward in the subject.
