Campaign Planning Study

Vandever Batten helps prepare an organization for campaign success by:

  • Shaping a Case For Support to test with potential lead donors and other shareholders.
  • Conducting interviews with staff, Board members, and potential past and current lead donors and prospects.
  • Assessing the organization’s development infrastructure, relationship with marketing, fundraising systems, processes, and results.
  • Crafting a report informed by key findings and recommendations for campaign success.

Mid-campaign Assessment

Similar to a campaign planning study, but Vandever Batten hosts fewer donor and volunteer interviews to assess the campaign structure, strategy, and support systems before making recommendations to strengthen fundraising outcomes.
