How to Align Your Grants Calendar with Your Capital Campaign

Foundation grants can play an important role in a capital campaign, but application deadlines, board meetings, and decision timelines do not always match your campaign schedule. Without a coordinated plan, organizations may miss opportunities, approach funders at the wrong time, or create competition between annual and capital requests.

In this free Ready to Raise Session, campaign expert Kristin Raack will show you how to integrate foundation fundraising into your broader campaign plan. You’ll learn how to map grant opportunities against campaign milestones, decide when to cultivate and approach funders, and coordinate capital requests with your ongoing grant program.

This session is ideal for nonprofit leaders who expect foundations to play a role in their capital campaign. You’ll leave with a clearer plan for managing grant activity throughout the campaign while maintaining strong relationships with your institutional funders.

The 60-minute session will include 30 minutes of instruction followed by a generous 30 minutes of live Q&A, giving you plenty of time to ask Amy your capital campaign questions.
