Capital campaigns are usually organized as big, multi year fundraising efforts, designed to get an organization to the next level of programming and service. But it doesn't always have to be about a new building or a renovation.

Capital campaigns can be about technology and rebranding - whatever needs to be done to build the capacity of an organization to jump to another level of service.  You'll know success if at the end of the campaign, your community and your organization looks and feels different than when you started.
 
My guest this week is Amy Eisenstein, ACFRE. Amy has been a development professional and fundraising consultant for more than 20 years. She is also the CEO of the Capital Campaign Toolkit.  Recognized as a leading expert in her field, she helps small and large nonprofits alike raise millions of dollars through major gift and capital campaigns.

Here are some of the topics we discussed:

• How to know when or if it's time to run a capital campaign
• How to decide what to raise money for during a capital campaign
• What needs to be in place before starting a campaign
• The very first thing you need to do when starting out
