Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Capital Campaigns Should Start with Ideas Instead of a Campaign Brochure
Q: Why shouldn't a glossy brochure be the first deliverable?
Because campaigns evolve, and a finished brochure locks in a narrative that may not reflect changes in costs, opportunities, or donor feedback; it also makes donors feel excluded from the thinking process.
Why Capital Campaigns Should Start with Ideas Instead of a Campaign Brochure
Q: What is the fundamental starting point for a capital campaign communications plan?
Start with a set of clear, compelling ideas—the case for support—developed with input from board, staff, and donors, rather than jumping to a finished brochure.
Will Your Capital Campaign Cannibalize Your Annual Fund? What Really Happens
Q: What key lessons did Hilary learn during the process?
Relationship-building is central to development work, and the campaign should be seen as expanding the mission and community impact, not just raising a building's cost; trust built over years was crucial to success.
Will Your Capital Campaign Cannibalize Your Annual Fund? What Really Happens
Q: What happened to the annual fund after the campaign—did cannibalization occur?
Contrary to fears, the campaign actually fueled the annual fund; donors continued to give and, in many cases, increased giving as a result of the building and program visibility.
Will Your Capital Campaign Cannibalize Your Annual Fund? What Really Happens
Q: What was the annual budget of Community MusicWorks before and after the campaign?
The annual budget rose from about $1.2 million to roughly $2.3 million after the campaign, reflecting the new building and expanded programs.
