Test it, plan it, raise it, then celebrate
Every campaign moves through the same four stages, whether we run it with you or you run it from the Launch Pad.
Feasibility study
Where most organizations begin their work with us. We test your campaign goal and case through confidential donor interviews, then deliver findings and a clear read on your readiness to move forward.
Quiet phase
We develop leadership gift strategies and cultivate major donors, with the aim of securing half your campaign goal before launch. This phase gives your largest supporters time to consider their commitment and make their gifts.
Public phase and close
We help you bring the campaign to your wider community through broad engagement strategies and tactics. We keep donors involved and giving opportunities visible as we guide the campaign toward its goal and a successful close.
Celebrate and prepare
We help you thank donors, mark the milestone, and steward the relationships your campaign built. Then we prepare for what comes next, because the close of one campaign is the start of the next.
