School Capital Campaigns 101: Q&A

#3 of 3 in our School Capital Campaign Webinar Series

A capital campaign is one of the most significant initiatives your school will undertake. It is a complex undertaking, and it is critically important that it be done right. To succeed, a school capital campaign must have a very high profile. This means that if it flops, it will be a high-profile flop. The reality is that for schools, generally you only have one shot at getting it right!

In this webinar, we will be answering the questions that have come in throughout the Capital Campaigns 101 webinar series this fall from administrators & school leaders just like yourself.

Here are few of the questions we’ve already received & will be answering:

  • How should we determine our campaign goal?
  • How soon should we start planning our campaign?
  • Does our small school need a capital campaign consultant?
  • Do we need a fancy campaign brochure?
  • What role should our board play in our campaign?
  • Can our school complete their own feasibility study or does an outside party need to do that? How important is it?
  • & your questions too!

Regardless of whether you’re simply considering a capital campaign or if your campaign is well underway, we’re here to answer your questions. Ask away!
