Capital campaigns can last five years or longer. Meanwhile, the average tenure of a nonprofit executive director or college president is approximately six years. That means if you’re in the midst of a capital campaign, it’s likely there will be a leadership transition at some point during your journey.

If you’re in the early stages of planning for a capital campaign, you undoubtedly have a number of big dreams for your organization. You want to make a meaningful impact on your community, and you know significant funds must be raised to make those dreams a reality.
