Capital Campaigns
Helping your capital campaign succeed—from beginning to end.
How can you raise the money you need for your capital needs? Do you have the organizational infrastructure to take on a large capital campaign? What is the right monetary target and the right messaging? How will you staff and execute your campaign?
We can help you meet these needs without negatively affecting your organization’s overall operations, programming, and—most importantly—critical ongoing fundraising efforts.
American Philanthropic helps plan and execute capital campaigns that are as varied and complex as the needs of our nonprofit clients.
Drawing on our experience with hundreds of nonprofits and our own proprietary data, our consultants help with strategic capital campaign planning that makes sense for you, support your implementation of that plan, and provide the leadership and time on task you need for your campaign to succeed—from beginning to end.
