Before you pick a campaign goal, build the gift range chart.

It shows how many gifts you need at each level and how many prospects you need to get them. For most campaigns, the chart makes one thing clear: success depends on a small number of very large gifts.

If you can't name the people behind the top lines of the chart, the goal isn't ready yet. That isn't discouraging. It's the most useful information you'll get all year.

By the time a capital campaign goes public, a big share of the goal should already be committed.

At Fox Advancement, we recommend our partners secure 40% of their goal in the quiet phase: lead and major gifts built one conversation at a time, before any announcement.

It matters because:
• Early commitments prove the goal is reachable
• Momentum makes every later ask easier
• A public launch should be a celebration, not a gamble

If your campaign plan starts with a gala announcement, it may be starting in the wrong place.

📘 Our free eBook, Everything You Need to Know About Staging a Capital Campaign, walks through every phase, from Vision Impact Alignment to the public launch:https://23695152.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/23695152/FA%20Staging%20a%20Capital%20Campaign%20eBook.pdf

Most capital campaigns that stall don't fail at the ask. They fail months earlier, at the decision to launch.

A feasibility study answers the questions a board is often too close to answer honestly:
→ Do our top donors believe in this project, or just in us?
→ Is the goal realistic, or just what the building costs?
→ Who is ready to lead, and who is waiting to be asked?

It's the least glamorous part of a campaign and the one that protects everything after it.

Planning a campaign in the next year or two? Start with the study.
