Capital Campaign Services
The full-service firm that carries your campaign from first feasibility call to final pledge.
Catapult is the only national firm that plans your capital campaign from the earliest quiet-phase strategy through a professionally staffed public-phase calling program, wrapping every campaign in one accountable partner instead of three vendors.
Planning: Feasibility Study & Case Development
Every strong campaign starts with an honest read of the field. We interview board members, staff, and top prospects to pressure-test the goal, then help you write the case statement, build the campaign budget, and assemble the gift table.
- Feasibility or planning study to confirm the campaign dollar goal
- Case statement, budget, and project prioritization
- Recruitment of a Campaign Chair and Steering Committee
- Development assessment of current staffing and systems
Campaign Planning
With the feasibility findings confirmed, we turn strategy into an execution-ready blueprint. Over a focused 3-6 month runway, we prioritize prospect data, finalize campaign materials, and build the committee structure the quiet phase will run on.
- Prospect data review and prioritization
- Drafting and finalizing campaign materials and collateral
- Recruiting and training the Campaign Committee
- Building the detailed campaign timeline, budget, and gift table
Quiet Phase: Major Gift Solicitation
Over a typical 24-36 month runway, we work alongside your Campaign Chair and Steering Committee to identify and solicit major gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations, securing the majority of the campaign goal before the public announcement.
Campaign Connect: Public or Community Phase
Catapult is the industry leader in this phase: the only firm that treats public-phase calling as a campaign discipline, not an afterthought. We reach your core constituencies (alumni, parents, grateful patients, members, subscribers) to raise 10-20% of the goal while dramatically expanding your donor base.
- Experienced, client-trained Engagement Officers who bond prospects to the mission
- Database managers using prospect research to set personalized ask amounts
- Staff writers preparing solicitation emails, letters, and calling scripts
