Development Assessment:

New development staff, no development staff, or in need a more directed approach to guide the development efforts? CapDev's Development Assessment is a tested and proven tool to elevate fundraising structures to the next level, and can also assertively position organizations for campaign planning and preparation. An in-depth discovery of an organization’s governance, finance, fundraising programs, technology and community relations, the assessment determines how to leverage maximum development potential.

Planned Giving:

As the anticipated wealth transference is underway, the need to cultivate donors regarding estate planning is greater than ever. Planned gifts benefit both the donor and the cause, and CapDev’s team of experts helps organizations build a sustainable planned giving program and provide the tools necessary to engage prospective donors.

Plan of Action:

The result of findings in a Development Assessment, the Plan of Action gives formal recommendations as a roadmap to guide successful fundraising initiatives. Action items are assigned responsibility and timelines to drive and ensure completion, and CapDev presents it all in a format to achieve everyone's buy-in.

Board Development:

Nonprofits from universities and hospitals to food banks and museums have come to rely on the rich resource of CapDev training to educate board and staff alike on their roles in fundraising. Click here to download a description of some CapDev Workshops. Download PDF.

Strategic Planning:

A well-devised long-range plan brings an organization's vision to life, and is a mandatory first step for any fund development efforts. CapDev's experts help organizations strategize three to five-year plans, involving leadership, and boosting overall operations.
