Dwight R Lueth Associates has helped over 130 nonprofits with donor acquisition and major gift programs, capital campaigns, and strategic planning. Recently, I have seen many nonprofits start capital campaigns without enough preparation. This often leads to challenges and setbacks that could be avoided with thorough pre-campaign assessments and careful timing. My approach is to offer objective assessments, practical advice, and support for building strong teams. I help organizations increase annual support, assess readiness for capital campaigns, and make informed decisions for long-term fundraising success. And, if ready, assist with building detailed prospect lists and developing donor-focused strategies.
