Capital Campaign

http://www.bacwest.com/capital.html

Over the years Capital Campaigns have evolved from mammoth campaigns with hundreds of volunteers and staff to today when campaigns are much smaller both in structure and length of time and are highly volunteer oriented. 

Few Capital Campaigns for other than major institutions take more than 12  to 18 months to complete and are more recently designed to be conducted by development staff with the assistance of a consultant. In organizations that have no development department staff, they usually opt to have on-site campaign direction, that is, an on-site Campaign Director/Consultant who works 24/7 on their project. 

We at Bradley Associates are proud to provide staffing whether you need it for a couple days a month or full-time on-site Director. We are in position to provide that staff to help achieve your goals in the shortest possible time line.

The ultimate success of a Capital Campaign for significant funding support of specific programs or projects, always goes back to the essential "pre-campaign" tasks that either were or were not accomplished prior to the start of the campaign. A stalled Capital Campaign is most likely the result of insufficient preparation. No Capital Campaign preparation step is more important than the Capital Campaign Planning Study (or Feasibility Study). 

Here are our thoughts regarding the all-important Capital Campaign Planning Study:

• It can be argued that a Study is the single most important planning step for a successful capital campaign.
• A Study offers the unique opportunity for an "outside set of eyes and ears" to ask important questions of potential campaign leaders and potential donors, and to receive candid and accurate answers from them regarding critical campaign feasibility issues.
• It does matter who the outside consultant and Study Director is. The professionalism of this individual reflects back to the client. Bradley Associatesassigns its best staff for Study Director positions and values the client image in the community to the highest degree.
  

A client should expect the following "deliverables" from a Study:

• A complete written, and thorough study report
• A professional presentation to client leadership groups
• Confidential executive and management reports for key leadership
• Comprehensive recommendations that address all angles of funding feasibility
• Recommendations for goals, leadership, campaign structure and timing

We would be happy to provide a 10 page self analysis to determine your readiness to begin a Capital Campaign. Request a copy.  

We are prepared to help you and will provide consulting services as needed.

The coaching that we provide has two components: coaching the organization and for the individual.

The organizational coaching relates to the institution itself, including budget, planning, staffing, marketing, and fundraising.

The individual coaching covers several areas, all which support the organization. Coaching consists of one on-site session per month, for approximately six months. At each session we work on various items that have been predetermined, to reach our goals. These individual goals match up to the organizational goals.

We examine and evaluate your personal plan and that of the organization; we will help you to think differently about how to build your career, and how to communicate your skills, strengths, and assets to your target employer. With our coaching and program, you will learn to use these skills to give you the opportunity to thrive in the world today. One of the approaches that we use is a five step program:

• To build a clear vision of your career
• Identify your personal image, or unique brand
• Develop a branded resume or CV, and professional bio
• Create an on-line identity
• Apply key tools and strategies for long term career management and professional growth

Of course each one of these items relates to not only the individual but also to the organization. It gives us the opportunity to work together in developing a strategic long term plan for both, which will strengthen not only the individual, but all the programs within the organization as well.

The coaching program includes unlimited e-mails related to the organization and the individual, one on-site meeting per month to develop the work plan and strategic plan, and goals for both the individual and the organization. It also includes a weekly e-mail, which would move towards the setting of the goals and benchmarks, and report as to where we are in relation to them. These weekly meetings can be either by email or telephone.

Our philosophy is that if the individual is happy and successful and knows where he or she is going, the organization will also flourish with the program.
