Over the past eighteen years, I have designed, implemented and wrapped up fundraising campaigns efforts in support of animal rights, health, economic development and achievement in underserved communities. For a full review of my qualifications and work history, I would invite you to revisit my consulting website Nonprofit Now! www.yournonprofitnow.com. I consult for a range of nonprofits both locally and virtually. I have designed, launched and implemented multiple campaigns. My action steps would include (but not be limited to):
Soft Launch or Quiet Phase: Two to three weeks (please note - this is not the time it will take to design the campaign as per the bidding process)
Developing a strong case statement for your training program
Understanding the full cost plus additional funds for cushion
Identifying funding tiers that will connect with core constituencies
Identifying and connecting with potential campaign leadership and/or committees that can drive the campaign
Full Launch (public Campaign) The timing will be dependent on scope of campaign and full funding requirement
Solicitation by leaders
Full campaign at multiple levels
Ongoing recognition of donors
Close of Campaign and Recognition Event
As noted, these are key action steps that are core to any campaign. With a fuller understanding of both the scope of the project and cost, I would be able to fully articulate the timeline.
