CAMPAIGN READINESS
A capital campaign is a periodic, carefully organized, highly structured fundraising program. It uses volunteers supported by staff and consultants to raise funds for specific needs to be met in a specific time frame, with a specific dollar goal that allows donors to pledge gifts to be paid over a period of years.
Campaigns are the most cost-effective form of fundraising. Because they are volunteer-driven, have a tight timetable and rely on major gifts for the bulk of their contributions, they raise more dollars per dollar spent than any other fundraising vehicle.

“Casey Woodard has been absolutely invaluable to our fundraising efforts at Klamath Community College. His insights and expertise are immense, and they have helped us move from a very basic level of operation to a much more defined and sophisticated office. Casey consistently goes above and beyond in assisting clients, and I have appreciated his commitment to helping us get better. He has terrific ideas, and we have learned a lot under his tutelage.”
“Not only is Casey a highly regarded fundraiser, he is also a gifted teacher and mentor. He knows his subject matter so well that he can explain convoluted fundraising strategy to beginners in logical and reassuring ways. If your staff, board, or volunteers are nervous about fundraising or unconvinced of its potential, hire Casey.”
“I am so excited that Casey’s strong understanding of fundraising vision and leadership is now available to us in the Southern Oregon region. He will strengthen the fund development leadership and capacity that we need in our non-profit sector.”
“Casey Woodard is a dedicated and committed philanthropist who not only understands the essence and power of the philanthropic process, but possesses the rare capability of being able to articulate it in a way that is understandable to others. He consistently creates philanthropic results in which not just the beneficiaries but the donors themselves become engaged in the process and invested in the outcomes.”
