Capital Campaign
Raise Much Needed Funds For Your School
Over the last 30 years raising over $100M for private schools, we have developed Capital campaign best practices and distilled them into guides, policies, protocols, how to’s, everything that you will need to determine whether or not to enter into a Capital Campaign and if so, what you will need to make it successful. This is a complete package.
And it is now available for schools of all sizes and budgets, schools that have internal resources to carry out the project, and those who require ISPG to provide the expertise and people.
We have categorized these first as Do-It-Yourself resources and have made these very affordable for any size of school to have access to and alternatively, as Project Management Services for the larger fundraising initiatives.
Do It Yourself Resources
Preparing for a Capital Campaign
Before you enter into a Capital Campaign a school must know that it can be successful and under what conditions success can be achieved.
In this module, subscribers will gain all of the tools required to understand if their vision for raising funds is supported or not eliminating the chance of failure.
The Full Capital Campaign Package
In this module, subscribers will have access to all of the tools required to successfully assess your school’s support for a Capital Campaign and how to carry it out to its conclusion. this is a comprehensive package that leaves no stones unturned, no questions unanswered including having monthly live Zoom access to ISPG’s Capital Campaign specialist where you can ask those questions that may arise during the course of your campaign.
If your school does not have the people resources or in-house expertise to conduct a Capital Campaign, ISPG can provide the project management resources required to take your school from start to finish in a Capital Campaign.
