Magee Rehabilitation Hospital opened its doors in 1958 and hired its first Director of Development in 1992. Successful annual, major and planned giving programs had been built, and the next natural step for the organization was to embark upon a major gift/capital campaign. One began in 2008 and stalled halfway. After plans to build a Creative Therapy Center and Healing Gardens came to life in 2012, we knew a campaign had to happen to raise the funds, and, it had to be successful.
Working together, the Magee team and Robbe Healey developed and executed a successful campaign, the first and largest fundraising effort for Magee, and surpassed the goal by raising $2.1 million.
This session will help take participants from start to finish and include:
- The “homework” that needs to be done to assess campaign readiness of the organization, staff, and volunteers
- How to get started
- Achieving organizational buy-in at all levels (professional leadership, board, and all staff)
- The role of the Consultant
- Using Donor Recognition to establish and increase giving opportunities
- Achieving Success and Celebrating
