Sample text
This service is different from the development audit or assessment because it is entirely focused on external stakeholders (although contributing and other board members may be included in the process). There is usually no internal assessment by the consultant, only a series of interviews with individual donors (usually major donors) and donor prospects, and possibly with foundation and corporate donors and prospects. Usually a case prospectus, fact sheet, annual report, or other information on the organization is sent to the prospective interviewees, along with a letter of invitation explaining the purposes of the interview.
The consultant will supply the needed expertise and do the asking, rarely needing to call on board or staff members. As was pointed out earlier, there may be legal issues, and the consultant or firm may in fact be classed as a solicitor depending on your state laws. But there are also strong philosophical differences among consultants and consulting firms over this approach. ‘‘Onsite campaign management’’ is one of the services offered by many reputable firms and some individual consultants. In these arrangements the consultant or firm basically functions as a development staff member for the organization.
For example, a consultant/solicitor might meet with a potential campaign major donor who expresses two options he or she is considering: a campaign gift now, or inclusion of the organization in his or her estate plans with a significant portion of the estate to go to the organization. The consultant/solicitor may focus on the campaign gift so that it can be counted toward the goal; the best interests of the organization might be served by the planned gift. Does the firm that offers on-site campaign management services also offer to do a feasibility study, and does it offer to package these two services?
