Feasibility Study

Testing a plan among constituents and in the broader community can lead to a more focused and successful fundraising effort. Involving key community members and obtaining their input prior to launching a campaign can help spot potential obstacles, predict financial support and identify campaign leaders. The Breton Group helps develop a realistic and compelling case for support, conducts one-on-one interviews with individuals key to the project and recommends specific steps to create a clear path to campaign success.

Capital Campaign

Raising significant philanthropic dollars for new facilities, new ministries, endowment funds and other major projects requires strong leadership and a sound organizational plan that appropriately reflects the nonprofit’s culture. The Breton Group guides campaigns from recruiting leadership, to developing effective communications strategies, to training volunteers to make solicitation calls.

Millage/Bond Votes

Successful millage elections depend on convincing the electorate of the need for increased funding and getting out the “yes” vote. In Michigan ’s current economy, any new taxes are a tough sell. The Breton Group guides the development of effective information strategies and creates an organizational structure to identify and recruit “yes” voters, and get them to the polls.
