The Benefits of Capital Campaign Feasibility and Planning Studies

Capital campaign feasibility studies can help your organization answer the above questions. They provide the opportunity to test your vision and plans with your “inner circle” and most loyal donors. Study deliverables evaluate your community’s capacity and inclination to support this vision at this moment, informing an ambitious and achievable campaign goal and time frame, and the case for philanthropic support.

Preparation for a Campaign Feasibility and Planning Study requires several important steps: 

• Determining the role of philanthropy in realizing the strategic plan

• Drafting a case for philanthropic support and table of gifts needed to meet the goal

• Identifying your top 100 donors and others who might participate in interviews to inform an ambitious and achievable campaign goal and campaign timeline.
