Capital campaigns in times of uncertainty
I (Sarah) am one of the voices included in this The Chronicle of Philanthropy piece, which explores how charities are handling capital campaigns in this time of economic uncertainty.
The feature offers expert advice and examples showing how nonprofits are navigating the world of campaigns right nowโorganized into 4 categories:
๐ Lean into the challenges you face
๐ Think twice before using political language
๐ Be ready to pivot
๐ Donors want to see impact...not desperation
At the end of the day, remember that *what might work for one organization won't necessarily work for the next.* There's no set template for all nonprofits to follow. But the 4 main points above provide a great blueprint for how to proceed, no matter what your mission is!
