Capital Campaigns
Too many nonprofits pick a goal and assume donors will be excited. Successful campaigns do not work that way. They are based on science, a thorough planning study, effective case statements, constant tracking, solicitor coaching, more. Competent part time campaign counsel can help you achieve and surpass your goals.
