Join Victor Brooks, Consultant, and Mary Claire Walther, Principal, at the DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference for “Rethinking the ‘Capital Campaign’: New Models to Fundraise for Bricks and Mortar.” The DFW Philanthropy in Action Conference is a leading regional professional development event for fundraising professionals, bringing together more than 500 attendees for two days of CFRE-eligible training, networking and learning from local and national presenters.

This session will challenge organizations to move beyond the traditional capital campaign model and explore smarter, more strategic approaches to funding facilities projects and program expansion. Victor and Mary Claire will discuss how strategic planning can serve as a launch point for campaign goals, programming, impact, sustainability, and new fundraising opportunities. Attendees will learn how to engage outside experts, focus on outcomes, involve board members strategically, understand what funders want to see, build early wins, leverage partnerships, and consider public, in-kind, and phased funding strategies to move capital projects forward with confidence.
