"Too many organisations completely dismiss or ignore the extensive advance planning that is at the core of every successful capital campaign." If your organisation is considering a capital campaign, Mark Quigley’s book will set you up for fundraising success. Focusing on the year before commissioning your campaign’s feasibility study, it breaks down best-practice steps you should take to position your organisation and its leadership for positive study and campaign results. Full of real-life case studies and examples drawn from Mark’s extensive capital campaign experience, fundraising leaders will learn how to pace their preparation methodically, defining what is urgent, what can wait, and what cannot be skipped. And if you’ve run out of time to plan well, there’s an “In Case of Emergency” section for you!
