A successful capital campaign requires lots of pre-planning as a warmup to the actual campaign.  The more you prepare prior to the campaign launch, however, the greater your chances of campaign success!  Listen in as Andrew and Rhen discuss, in detail, all of the things that should happen before you embark on a capital campaign.   


In this episode, Andrew and Rhen answer the following questions:

• How do you know when your organization is ready to execute a successful capital campaign?  What are some indicators that your nonprofit might not be ready to take on a campaign?
  
  
• How do you develop vision for a campaign?
  
  
• What kind of data/database to you need to have in place to be ready for a campaign?
  
  
• How can you get a good estimate of what the cost will be for the campaign project?  How much time do you need to allow before a building campaign in order to get drawings, land, etc.?
  
  
• What happens to your annual fund during a capital campaign?  Can you fund both?
