What should I be doing during a recession to grow my fundraising? When is the right time to begin a capital or major gifts campaign? Am I thriving or just surviving? Sound familiar?

At Jeffrey Byrne & Associates we’ve heard many of these same questions from clients and our friends in philanthropy.

We also asked if it was a good time for a capital campaign workshop and here is what we heard:

“We’ve never experienced an economy like this. What should we do?”
Parts of the fundraising process are changing daily as we experience conditions not seen in 40 years. But many best-practices in fundraising are valid and working well for nonprofits across the nation. Regardless of your capital project timeline, now is the perfect time to focus on the plan, adapt to the conditions and improve your likelihood of conducting a successful campaign.

“A capital campaign isn’t on our radar right now.”
Many nonprofits have deferred their campaign for now. But many others have needs that can’t be deferred and must be met now. A capital campaign workshop that addresses effective planning both long and short term will help any organization be more focused and better prepared for success.

Now is the perfect time to renew, refresh and recover. Join us for an upcoming workshop in Kansas City and later this fall in other cities we serve.  Read more about the workshop series and curriculum.
