Catapult is the industry leader in this phase of a capital campaign, specializing in telephone outreach to the nonprofit’s core constituencies such as alumni, parents, grateful patients, members, subscribers,  or others to raise

10 – 20 percent of the campaign goal. The great benefit of conducting this phase is not only the substantial dollars raised, but also the huge expansion of the donor base.

 

Catapult uses face-to-face solicitation techniques in emails or snail mail plus customized phoning with personalized ask amounts to provide donor-centered, relationship building results.  We provide the following services for this phase of the campaign:

 

• Highly experienced, client-trained callers who will bond with prospects about the goals of the campaign and the importance of becoming a part of it with a pledge commitment, usually over a multi-year period

• Skilled database managers who work with clients to determine the best prospects for this campaign phase using prospect research and  previous giving information to customize ask amounts

• Staff writers partner with clients to prepare solicitation emails, letters,  thank you letters, and calling scripts
