If your organization is considering a capital, endowment, or other major fundraising campaign, Are You Ready for a Capital Campaign? by Linda Lysakowski will help you assess: * Whether you have a donor prospect pool for major campaign gifts. * Whether you have planned adequately for the campaign. * Whether your board is willing to step up to support the campaign. * Whether your staff has sufficient time to devote to the campaign. * Whether you have the right policies and procedures in place. * Whether your community is ready for the campaign. * How well your software system can manage a campaign. Written as a workbook, it’s designed to walk you through, step by step, the process of assessing your nonprofit’s ability to run a major fundraising campaign. It can be used in conjunction with the book Capital Campaigns: The Basics and Beyond, also by Linda Lysakowski. This workbook is part of the popular CharityChannel In the Trenches series.
