At some point in the life of every nonprofit, the leadership team will consider a significant fundraising campaign to address capital, programming or endowment needs (or all three!). Capital campaigns (sometimes called “advancement campaigns”) need a different approach from annual fundraising efforts. “Campaigns 101” gives you a taste of what’s in store for you if you decide to initiate a campaign for your organization. This program will help you prepare for that effort and answer questions you may have about your role as a fundraiser during a campaign cycle. New to veteran fundraisers will gain knowledge and campaign confidence from this program.
