Capital Campaign Feasibility Studies

Creating a Blueprint for Your Successful Campaign

A Sheridan Group Feasibility Study provides an objective, professional evaluation and helps you answer the following key questions:

• Do your key constituents concur with your funding priorities?
• Are you capable of raising the amount needed for a campaign or new program initiative?
• Who should lead the effort, when should you begin, and what is the proper sequence?
• Can your current staff and systems support such an effort?
• Do you have a well thought-out plan of action integrating all advancement functions?

Through a series of confidential interviews with key volunteers, major donors, potential benefactors and senior staff, The Sheridan Group prepares a report detailing conclusions and recommendations on goal setting and expectations for success.

Unlike most other consulting firms, we complete the assignment by providing you with a Comprehensive Campaign Operating Plan or a specific plan to achieve campaign readiness if it is determined that a campaign is not advisable at the time.

We recommend the Feasibility Study begin a year prior to launching a major campaign, in order to allow sufficient time to test and refine the case, develop a Campaign Operating Plan, identify potential donors and recruit key leadership, develop the campaign budget and increase staff, if necessary.
