Funding Capital Campaign Workshops

Capital Fundraising Campaigns raise large sums of money for building maintenance and/or large projects. Campaigns can last anything from two to twelve years and each Capital Campaign requires clear planning, preparation and good project management.

Planning a Successful Capital Campaign Workshop

Eleanor Stead facilitates a lively and informative one day workshop to help parishes secure the funds for major projects. Eleanor heads up the National Legacy and Funding initiative, helping to support and resource our 16,000 churches.

The workshop encourages parishes to think about:

  • Are you prepared? Health check, Planning and Permissions
  • How will you succeed? Campaign Management and Volunteer Leadership
  • Do you have the tools for success? Funding Strategy, Budgets and Case for Support
  • How will you raise the funds? Researching Potential Donors and Approaching Applications
