elcome to
the CAPITAL VENTURE website! We hope you’ll find the tools and information
here useful in taking your organization to the next level.
Capital Venture has been providing
fundraising counsel to nonprofits of all sizes and areas of service since 1993.
Our consultants, who are located throughout the United States, specialize in
innovative training and consulting services. They are a results-oriented team,
committed to maximizing the potential of every organization we serve, and among
some of the most distinguished leaders in our profession. You can learn more
about them on the About Us
page. Additional links to our services
and successful campaigns can be found
throughout the website. You'll also find a subscription
form so our popular newsletter, Ventures
in Philanthropy, can be delivered to your inbox each month.
We’ve put our heads together
to produce several areas of this website especially for our many friends and
supporters in the nonprofit community. The Resources section contains our favorite
links, along with a library of articles,
archived newsletters, and our recommendations
for the best books in print today for
nonprofit organizations.
You’ll also find evaluation
tools on the website. If you are planning a capital
campaign, we have prepared three options to help determine your readiness
– our free online assessment tool, a more in-depth analysis through the
Campaign Readiness link, and
an all day campaign planning workshop led by one of our capital campaign experts.
For an analysis of your overall development
program, you'll again find three options, including a free
development program evaluation you can download.
We are adding new material all
the time, so please visit us often and don’t forget to stop by monthly
for a new installment of our popular CV
Secrets for Success series!
Thank you for your interest
in Capital Venture. Please contact us anytime with your suggestions for improving
the website or for additional information about how we can help you achieve

Sincerely,
Linda Lysakowski, ACFRE
