Working with Lewis Kennedy on our Capital Campaign has been truly helpful. Their guidance on strategy and practical advice have helped us to stay focused and meet our goals at each point in the fundraising process. Our Campaign volunteers left our training session feeling knowledgeable and empowered to take on their assignments with real confidence.

Capital Campaigns

Capital campaigns that start with a solid foundation

You have one “best chance” to make your campaign a success – right at the beginning. If your campaign is not meticulously planned, organized and tested from the outset, you risk losing valuable time and money.

Your campaign is an ongoing process, not a special event. A campaign should build on relationships and themes your organization has established during previous fundraising activities. We develop campaigns as part of a continuum that helps you build your donor base and increases your support from one year to the next.

Once a campaign is rolling, it’s difficult to make changes. With our help, you won’t have to. Plan on it.

What you get from LKA:
  • Pre-campaign planning. Complete start-to-finish planning for established organizations as well as those conducting their first capital campaign.
     
  • Campaign planning studies (feasibility studies). We’ll evaluate your internal readiness and conduct interviews that measure receptivity of your case in the community. We’ll help refine a statement of case and needs, identify key participants, and assess your potential availability of gifts.
     
  • Campaign implementation. Collaborating with organization staff, we help you plan, design and conduct your campaign, implementing "every member" strategies to ensure success.
     
  • Commitment and dedication. Through hard work, we’ll help you focus your passion into a successful campaign that helps you achieve your organization’s mission
