Join fundraising experts Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt as they unravel the essentials of capital campaigns, from small-scale projects to multimillion-dollar transformations.

Discover why size doesn’t define a campaign's success, but its potential to catapult your organization forward does. Through relatable stories, expert insights, and practical tips, this episode explores how campaigns differ from annual fundraising, strategies for securing transformational gifts, and the lasting benefits of building donor relationships.

This episode dives into the power of strategic fundraising to achieve long-term impact. Amy and Andrea discuss the importance of tailoring your campaign to specific goals, whether it’s funding a $10,000 project or a $20 million expansion.

Learn how to leverage one-time gifts, engage major donors, and maintain strong annual fund contributions while pursuing your big dreams. They also share examples of how campaigns can enhance donor engagement and elevate overall fundraising efforts.

Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the idea of mini-campaigns as a stepping stone between larger projects. These smaller, focused initiatives not only meet immediate needs but also provide a chance to strengthen donor relationships and practice capital campaign strategies on a smaller scale.

Tune in for inspiring examples and practical guidance to help your organization thrive through intentional and impactful fundraising.
