Then you may find yourself wanting to launch a capital campaign. Before you do, listen to this week and next week's podcasts to make sure you know the steps that will ensure your success. A capital campaign takes a lot of time, money, and energy, so before you go running off asking for big gifts, make sure you are ready to go the distance.   I'm joined again by my fundraising coach, Lynn Terelle of Terelle a Graham Consulting (https://www.terellegrahamconsulting.org/). Lynn shares her process and approach to a capital campaign and explains why they take so much effort to produce results.    This week we are talking about the first three steps in the four-step process of running a capital campaign. Those steps are the planning phase, the silent phase, and the lead/major gifts phase. Since this was such a long, detailed conversation, I decided to split it in two. Next week's episode will be about the public phase of a campaign and then we'll talk about best practices, common mistakes, and other things to help you succeed with your fundraising.   This is a great episode to take notes, so grab a pen and paper to keep handy as you're doing whatever you're doing.   Other resource links: Support the podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/virtualexecutivedirector Learn more about executive coaching: https://virtualexecutivedirector.com/ Connect with Lynn: Terelle a Graham Consulting https://www.terellegrahamconsulting.org/
