-
Initial groundwork to engage donors, inform boards and consider all the angles.
A feasibility study takes the temperature of your donor base. It's a warm-up for your capital campaign and can help you answer critical questions before moving forward, such as:
- Is this project actually compelling to our donor base or just to us?
- Is this fundraising goal truly reachable for our organization?
- Is now the right time for us to launch this campaign?
A study also provides an opportunity for you to engage supporters in your project early on, using a method that is trusted by philanthropists, and presented by experts in the fundraising field.
Simply put, it's a snapshot of how your donors really see you that can serve as a strong base for your campaign plan (and save you time and resources down the road).
-
Yes, it's true. You need a solid blueprint before you start building your campaign.
Our custom campaign blueprint kit comes with everything you need to get started in your campaign. From a detailed plan and timeline, to budgets, checklists and job descriptions, to donor letter templates, board training materials and cut- and paste-ready policies and procedures, we've got you covered in the planning department (and beyond). So you can spend more time on what matters most. -
Your campaign team’s coach, problem-solver, wise sage, accountability partner, and #1 cheerleader, all rolled into one.
Campaign counsel is a service that offers a comprehensive approach to strategic campaign planning, donor content strategy and development, and provides coaching, training and guidance for key players from beginning to end.
Hiring external counsel can help ensure that all participants, including staff and volunteer steering committee members, work together in the most efficient way possible.
Additionally, bringing in counsel adds a layer of accountability to your campaign effort and brings fundraising best practices to the forefront. With the help of experienced counsel, your organization can reduce risks and maximize your efficiency and effectiveness.

"Thank you all so much for the work you have put into the feasibility study for us. I couldn’t be happier and wholeheartedly recommend the team for anyone going through any kind of transition or for a capital campaign. We silently knew we were struggling in our branding and measuring any success but you guys made it real for us by listening to our community leaders and presenting us a detailed game plan to find solutions to the challenges that came out in the study. You are truly fabulous!!!"

"When I signed up to support the Coming Home Capital Campaign for Anna Marie’s Alliance, I was introduced to Katrina Pierson, Amy Nord, and Growth by Design. Over the past 18 months we have worked hand in hand, cultivating relationships and successfully achieving significant goals for the campaign. Katrina and her team proved themselves to be visionary leaders who spearheaded groundbreaking work and provided a solid and easy-to-implement framework and formula for success. Through Growth by Design’s tireless work ethic, strategic vision, and unparalleled commitment to making a lasting impact on the women and children in central MN affected by domestic violence, the campaign realized its initial goal and is now over 90% to a new stretch goal! I highly recommend Growth by Design for any nonprofits embarking on a majorfundraising campaign, they are outstanding and invaluable partners!"
