What We Do
Four ways we grow your donor base — one accountable partner.
Capital Campaign Counsel
Feasibility studies, case development, and quiet-phase major gift strategy, carried through a 24–36 month runway into public-phase calling.
Legacy & Planned Giving
Legacy Call identifies and closes bequests, beneficiary designations, and other deferred gifts from your most loyal, longest-tenured donors.
Mid-Level Donor Engagement
An 8-stage, relationship-first program that upgrades mid-level donors and builds a qualified pipeline for future major gifts.
Annual Fund Calling
Trained Engagement Officers treat every prospect like a major donor-in-waiting, with segmented outreach, personalized asks, and digital stewardship included.
How A Campaign Moves
Five phases. One firm carrying you through all of them.
Planning
Feasibility & Case Development
We interview leadership and top prospects, stress-test the campaign goal, and draft the case statement, budget, and gift table before a dollar is asked.
Campaign Planning
Data, Materials & Committee Prep
Over a focused 3-6 months, we prioritize prospect data, draft and finalize campaign materials, and recruit and train the Campaign Committee before quiet-phase solicitation begins.
Quiet Phase
Major Gift Solicitation
Over 24–36 months, your Campaign Chair and Steering Committee secure the majority of the goal from identified individual, foundation, and corporate donors.
Campaign Connect
Public Phase Calling
Our trained Engagement Officers reach alumni, patients, members, and subscribers with personalized asks, raising 10–20% of the goal while expanding the donor base.
Stewardship
Fulfillment & Renewal
Thank-you letters within 24–48 hours, pledge fulfillment support, and digital stewardship keep every new donor engaged for the next ask.

What Clients Say
“They were the only firm willing to stay with us from the feasibility study all the way through the public phase calling. One team, one accountable partner from start to finish.”
Capital Campaign Client
“Legacy Call was a gamechanger for us. As a small shop, it helped us reach a much wider audience of planned giving donors, and the response was incredible: several new gifts and a full pool of new prospects.”
Chief Philanthropy Officer, PBS KVIE
“Catapult's fractional officers seamlessly amplified our staff capacity. We grew our total donor households, increased funds raised from our mid-level base, and strengthened our major gifts pipeline. True partners, not just a vendor.”
Former Sr. Director of Development, Houston Symphony
“Catapult's multi-channel outreach, phone, text, and email woven into one plan, increased both donor participation and dollars raised. Their callers are exceptionally well-trained, authentic, and a true extension of our advancement team.”
