During the past few weeks, Midwest Studies Group is honored to have been getting a lot of requests from those looking to start a Capital Campaign. Just a few tips to organizations looking to start one: 1) A Capital Campaign is like good BBQ . . . you need to cook it "low and slow". Don't rush into starting one. Take the time to do things the right way and have a plan in place. Don't get out there and start selling bricks and t-shirts. 2) Have you done a strategic plan and feasibility study yet? If not, these should be done. If you are wondering why, go back and read Number 1 above. If you need help with some questions we are happy to give some free advice.

At Midwest Studies Group we don't set out to "Make Money". We set out to make an impact with our clients and the people they serve. "Making Money" is the result of us doing what we set out to do. To each their own, but "Revenue" is not our primary driver, and we are ok with that 🙂 #nonprofitconsulting #capitalcampaign #fundraising #strategicplanning https://lnkd.in/dw_fXBH

365 Fundraising Truisms #54 It’s the duty of a fundraiser to tell a good story. A good story draws us in, causes an emotional reaction, and compels us to act.
