Description
- Is your library considering building or expanding? Are you looking at the possibility of having to raise major funds from private donations? The “capital campaign” has a long history in American philanthropy as a structured approach to seeking major gifts from the community. This workshop covers the process of conducting a library capital campaign, from initial planning, to feasibility study to conducting the campaign itself. Some questions addressed in this archive include:1. How much can you raise?
2. Who will donate to a library capital campaign?
3. How will we know if we are ready?
4. Should we hire a consultant?
5. How much will a campaign cost?
