Whether your school is growing and your campus needs to grow with it, or your facilities need a significant refresh and upgrades, embarking on a capital campaign is no easy feat.

A capital campaign is a multi-year strategic fundraising initiative that raises funds for a specific purpose. Capital campaigns typically have goals that exceed that of an annual fund and seek restricted funding for a specific project or series of related projects. Capital campaigns often fund building projects and scholarships, and grow endowments for long-term sustainability.

Join us for a two-day deep dive to explore the preconditions for a successful campaign and how to assess your school’s readiness. Together with peers you will explore the capital campaign cycle, including groundwork and implementation of a successful campaign. Gain actionable tips and strategies for the pre-campaign study, launching the silent and public phases, and running a multi-year capital campaign concurrent with your annual fundraising program.

This program will include expert led content and peer-to-peer modalities and opportunities to share and learn together.

This program is open to both school-based professionals and lay leaders. We encourage lay leaders to attend with their school professional. If your school is planning to send 3 or more people to this program, please reach out to Traci Stratford for a group discount code.

Please reach out to Traci if you have any additional questions.
