Planning and Feasiblity Studies

[Services]

Why do a planning study?

  • Your case for support will be developed and tested.

  • A recommended campaign plan will be developed.

  • A planning study helps you "take the pulse" of your community.

  • It tells you whether your goal is likely to be attained.

  • Potential major donors to your campaign are identified.

  • Possible campaign leaders and volunteers are identified.

  • Community attitudes and awareness of your organization are revealed.

  • Your internal readiness to conduct a campaign will be evaluated.

  

Why use a consultant to do your planning study?
  • Community leaders will speak freely to an "outside" party.

  • A consultant will provide an objective view of your organization and your plans. The consultant will draw on their experiences to evaluate your chances for a successful campaign.

  • The internal assessment can be done by an objective and experienced "outsider."


How long will it take to complete your planning study?
  • Generally, it will take several weeks to develop or refine your preliminary case for support and perform an internal assessment of your campaign readiness.

  • Depending on the number and location of interviewees, the interview process will take from four to eight weeks.

  • Preparation of the final report can usually be completed within two weeks of the completion of the interviews, bringing the total time involved to three to four months.
