PERCEPTIONS, & IMPRESSIONS
(FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT)
A 30-person Update, Perceptions & Impressions Listening Tour is designed to:
- Share a Conceptual (Preliminary) Campaign Case for Support.
- Listen for reaction.
- Produce four documents: a) Formal Report; b) Executive Summary to share with those with whom I met; c) Confidential Management Letter; and d) PowerPoint Presentation for the board of directors and/or the committee(s) of the client’s choice.
Whether referred to as a Feasibility Study, Reediness Assessment, or Update, Perceptions & Impressions Listening Tour, the undertaking is comprehensive, multi- faceted and highly interactive. For the time I commit to a particular study or tour, I do little else. It is akin to building a giant jigsaw puzzle, each conversation building upon the one before, uncovering philanthropic support not before known, reachable with strategies not before apparent. the process represents some of the most impactful and meaningful work of my professional career. I commit myself to conducting every conversation based on helping build long-term relationships with donors and to achieve as close to the campaign goal, as possible.
“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.”
