Feasibility/Planning Studies

Bentz Whaley Flessner fundraising consultants work with clients on capital campaign feasibility studies that answer the following questions:

  • What is a reasonable dollar goal and time frame for our capital campaign?
  • Do we have prospective donors to fund featured campaign projects and initiatives?
  • Are our capital campaign projects and featured initiatives clearly defined, compelling, and urgent to prospective donors?
  • Are there board members and other volunteers willing to lead our capital campaign?
  • Do we have fundraising and other external relations staff members ready to work with volunteers to conduct a successful campaign?
  • How might economic conditions—local, regional, and national—affect our capital campaign?
  • What effects might other campaigns—current and planned—have on our campaign?

Bentz Whaley Flessner helps clients answer these questions by:

  • Conducting confidential interviews with prospective campaign donors and volunteer leaders.
  • Working with your organization’s leadership on defining and articulating potential campaign projects and featured initiatives so that they are understandable, compelling, and urgent.
  • Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of your fundraising and external relations programs.
  • Providing a candid, objective, and thorough evaluation of your campaign readiness, including senior administrators’ involvement in fundraising programs.
  • Recommending concrete action steps, resource requirements, and timelines for campaign success.
