Capital Campaign Planning Through the Lens of Running a Marathon

Run Your Capital Campaign Like a Marathon Pro

In this white paper, we cover the phases of a capital or comprehensive campaign and their contribution to a successful outcome—all through the lens of getting ready for and completing a marathon. Because that’s what you’re getting ready to do.
