Capital campaigns and major gift fundraising

Bigger and better gifts - major donor fundraising, endowment and capital appeals
Big gifts are all the rage these days:
- Capital appeals for building or refurbishment projects are getting bigger.
- Big annual gift campaigns.
- The government is encouraging universities to fundraise actively, and to seek endowment.
- Growing regular donors, members and audiences into large gifts.
Big Gift, Capital Appeals and Major Donor fundraising are much more profitable than annual revenue fundraising. Larger gifts can transform a not for profit organisation. However, they involve trustee leadership, a vision for the future and senior management time, as well as good major donor fundraisers - who are in short supply.
Major Gifts also require research, planning, preparation and investment. Charity Consultants Ltd is unique in enabling researchers to find those wealthier and affluent donors on Prospecting for Gold Ltd’s Wealth Intelligence DatabaseTM alongside specialist major donor consultants and hands-on experienced major donor fundraisers.
If you are serious about big gifts, then you probably need a proper feasibility study before you begin, followed by a detailed fundraising plan and timetable. This is where our combined consulting experience of over 250 years and advising on over 45 major donor campaigns is invaluable. Often a short telephone conversation or our free half day consultancy will tell you whether you are ready to have a go at this exciting, but often slightly scary, form of fundraising. Please contact Andrew Thomas (01491 577211) or send us an email.
