Feasibility / Campaign Study
Are You Ready for a Campaign?
Our pre-engagement interview reveals the presence of key readiness conditions through:
- Leadership interviews
- Draft campaign case for philanthropic support
- Identifying top interview candidates along with stakeholder relations with them
- Masterful donor interviews. Employs a qualitative approach that allows for the evolution and customization of donor interview content to address emergent issues in real time.
We then draft a report with insightful discovery, quotes and wide-ranging recommendations addressing readiness and go-forward campaign goals and strategy.
Leadership
