Have you ever thought, “If only we had our own building? Or, “If only we could create a reserve fund to get us through our lean times? Or “If only we had the money to build a health clinic or theater or new school?” You will be surprised at how much money you can raise, using the skills you already have, without a lot of front money.

This workshop is for organizations with budgets under $750,000. Learn how a grassroots agency with a budget of $300,000 raised $1,000,000 for a building, or how an environmental group with a budget of $600,000 formed a coalition to raise $15 million to save a forest.

You will learn how to plan and implement a capital campaign that works for your small organization. You will understand capital campaign concepts like feasibility studies, lead gifts, naming opportunities and how or whether they apply to your situation. You will know how to proceed and what to watch out for and how to recruit a fundraising team to help you.

This seminar is available on CD at Grassroots Fundraising Journal.
