Are you considering a capital campaign, but don’t know where to start? This session will provide an overview of capital campaigns, from what goes into preparation to what happens to the annual fund during a campaign and everything in between. EDEN+ Fundraising and On With Life will walk through the campaign process from start to finish and share practical lessons from the recently completed Giant Strides campaign.
