Feasibility Studies 

A good feasibility study is well worth the investment. Conducting this specialized form of market research will help you understand your potential donors’ perspective on your organization, a feasible campaign goal, and your organization’s level of campaign readiness. With this information, we’ll work with your team to create a campaign strategy and messaging that is data-informed and based on your donor feedback. Amanda White Consulting tailors feasibility studies to each nonprofit client to ensure that feasibility study results supports a unique capital campaign strategy and plan.

Campaign Management 

Many organizations do not have the staffing to manage a multimillion dollar campaign. Amanda White Consulting provides campaign management and administration. We’ll take care of the campaign details, so leadership has the time to build relationships and secure major gifts. Campaign management includes work such as: managing and coordinating the capital campaign committee, managing the project list, coordinating prospect meetings, grant research and prioritizing, plus much more.

Campaign Planning and Consulting 

A strong capital campaign plan that outlines a clear strategy and pathway to success is paramount. We begin our campaign service with a structured, multi-tiered approach to campaign preparation. Beyond preparation, Amanda White Consulting offers tailored consulting support through every phase of the campaign. Consulting topics may include:

  • Creating a strong, unique campaign strategy

  • Finding and securing lead and major gifts

  • Recruiting and coordinating an effective campaign committee

  • Sequencing the timing of campaign communication

Campaign Consulting + Workshops 

For smaller campaigns, we’ve created an innovative new service that combines the effectiveness of individual, tailored campaign consulting with the benefits of small group workshops led by area nonprofit leaders. This dynamic combination provides a learning experience that will fully prepare organizations for the successful launch of a campaign. This 5-month series is offered twice per year.
