Jill is an AFP Master Teacher and a nationally sought-after trainer in the areas of fundraising, the not-for-profit sector, organizational management and development, business networking, philanthropy, and working with volunteers.

Program Summary

This energetic session covers the entire Feasibility Study process from start to finish -- why and how the Study can lead to greater fundraising success, what you can expect to learn from the Study, and how you can apply this to enhance your organization and its fundraising…whether you proceed with a campaign or not. We’ll explore the roles of the organization, the CEO, the Development Manager, and the Consultant -- ensuring that these are made clear from the beginning so there won’t be any “oops!” as you proceed. You’ll return to your office well-equipped to share information, offer guidance, and manage the process.

In this session:

• Know how to best manage the Feasibility Study process;
• Have a clear understanding of what information a Feasibility Study can uncover;
• Have a better sense of how to “value” the findings presented in the Study;
• Be able to identify potential problems in the Feasibility Study process and know what to do in advance to forestall them;
• know what to expect from the consultant…and what will be expected from them/their organizations.

Target Audience

• Mid-level development officers
• New CEOs
• Board Chairs
• Campaign leadership volunteers
