2022 Workshop Talk | 1:09:42 | Budgets & Finance, Fundraising & Development, Marketing & Growth
Summary
The classical Christian education movement continues to flourish! If your growing school is ready to go to the next level by acquiring property, expanding your facilities, or funding key strategic initiatives, then it may be time to consider a capital campaign.
This session will cover when it’s appropriate to launch a capital campaign, how campaigns are different from your annual fund, and the key “must-haves” for preparing for, launching, and conducting a successful capital campaign. This session is geared towards heads of school and board members; time will be available to discuss attendees’ specific questions.
