Fundraising Campaigns: Who, What, Why, and When?
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM CT
Speaker(s): Christen Wilson, Chief Advancement Officer, The John Cooper School
Elective Session
Fundraising Campaigns: Who, What, Why, When & How offers a practical overview of campaigns as strategic advancement tools rather than one‑time fundraising efforts. This session outlines what defines a true campaign, the conditions that signal readiness, and the core elements required for success, from goals, prospects, timelines, and volunteers to messaging, stewardship, and closing well. Participants will leave with a framework for planning and executing campaigns that build momentum, strengthen relationships, and advance mission‑driven priorities.
