From: FundUK List Manager
To all CharityChannel subscribers and certain additional nonprofit-sector
lists where there will be an interest in this new list. Apologies in
advance to those who, by virtue of being subscribed to more than one list,
will receive this more than once.
-------------------------------------
Few aspects of fund raising are more important to a nonprofit/NGO
organization than the capital campaign. Fund development officers, board
members, senior management, fund raising counsel and others are confronted
with an array of daunting questions when considering or waging a capital
campaign. A few:
--When is a capital campaign appropriate (or inappropriate)?
--What are the nuts and bolts of a capital campaign?
--Who should lead it?
--How long should it last?
--Should there be a "quiet phase" before a "public phase"?
--What should be its stated goal? Its unstated goal?
--What do you do if the campaign is falling short of its goal?
--Are there viable alternatives to the capital campaign?
--How do planned giving, grant seeking, special events, annual fund
programs, etc., figure in a capital campaign?
--How do you avoid donor and public confusion from changes brought about
by a capital campaign?
--Can you legally and/or ethically use funds raised for one project on
another project?
--And more.
CharityChannel.com has just launched CAPTALK, a new list dedicated to all
aspects of the capital campaign. It is open to any individual anywhere
