Pre-Campaign Assessment (PCA) — When Good Advice is Essential.

Good advice may be most valuable before a fundraising process even begins. Our Pre-Campaign Assessment (PCA) provides a thorough analysis of an organization’s capability to launch a significant fundraising effort. The Assessment is an essential first step. It identifies a nonprofit’s strengths and weaknesses, examines the prospective fundraising base and recommends strategies to make an organization campaign-ready.

Through interviews with board members, leading donors, prospective donors, opinion leaders and key staff members, EHL Consulting validates each organization’s needs and sets realistic goals. The PCA provides invaluable information about leadership, projected levels of support, and key audiences to target for a campaign.

Visioning Process — Where Do You Want to Go and How Will You Get There?

The Visioning Process is a formal exercise, facilitated by members of our firm. It enables the leadership to examine and evaluate the priorities, goals and objectives of the organization for the next 5-10 years and answer the following strategic questions:

• How will the organization be different in the next 5-10 years?
• Where does the organization want to be programmatically in the next 5 years?
• What will success look like for the organization within the next 5-10 years?
