Welcome to The All Means All podcast at Cathedral of the Rockies. This message the first in our Advent series A Universe in Waiting, where we wait with great anticipation for the coming Lord. Pastor Duane tells Mary's journey of waiting.Donate to our Capital Campaign: https://secure.myvanco.com/L-ZA1K/campaign/C-14SNFGive Online: https://www.cathedraloftherockies.org/donate/Connect with us:Facebook Downtown Campus: https://www.facebook.com/cathedraloftherockiesFacebook Amity Campus: https://www.facebook.com/cathedraloftherockiesamityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cathedral_of_the_rockies/Instagram Cathedral Families: https://www.instagram.com/cathedralfamilies/
Curiosity about who your earliest campaign leaders could be often sparks surprising discoveries and opens paths to support you may not have recognized.In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, hosts Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt explore how organizations can identify and engage the select group of donors who provide the earliest and most significant gifts in a campaign. Their conversation offers clear, practical guidance for anyone preparing to launch a major fundraising effort or reassessing their current prospect pool.Amy and Andrea begin by breaking down a truth that catches many organizations off guard: more than half of your campaign goal will come from twenty or fewer donors. They explain why this pattern is consistent across campaigns of all sizes and why even small or midsize organizations should expect the same dynamic. What often surprises leaders is realizing they may already know several people who could step into those roles once the right project is presented to them.From there, the discussion turns to understanding donor potential. Many donors give modest amounts simply because they've never been invited to support a bold vision. That makes your largest annual donors (whether they give $5,000, $10,000, or $25,000) the most likely candidates to consider a six- or seven-figure gift when a compelling campaign arises. Amy and Andrea outline how to recognize early signals of capacity by observing patterns in a donor's giving history across your organization and the wider community.The episode then walks through a practical approach to assembling a strong list of leadership-level prospects. This includes reviewing your current donor data, speaking with board members, and using wealth insights to form an initial group of ten or more people who could consider gifts of $1 million or higher. Amy and Andrea also emphasize the importance of looking beyond your files to the broader philanthropic landscape around you. In many communities, a small group of generous individuals consistently support major projects across several institutions. Seeing those patterns helps you understand who might step forward for your campaign.To support that effort, the hosts offer a simple field exercise: visit donor walls at nearby hospitals, theaters, libraries, and museums to observe which names appear repeatedly. Noticing these patterns sharpens your understanding of who cares deeply about your community and may be open to learning about your plans. The conversation also addresses the preparation needed before a feasibility study. Amy explains how assembling a list of twenty to forty individuals capable of contributing gifts of $100,000 or more strengthens the study and improves the accuracy of your early projections. She offers guidance on how long list-building can take and why these early steps are key to an effective quiet phase later on.A recurring theme throughout the episode is the value of curiosity. Andrea highlights the power of asking, “Who else should I be talking to?” This single question encourages donors, board members, and community leaders to open doors, make introductions, and broaden your audience. It also provides an easy way to circle back to earlier conversations and express genuine appreciation.The episode closes with a welcome reminder: campaign fundraising is energizing when it is rooted in mission and authentic relationships. Following curiosity, learning about people, and building meaningful connections brings a sense of purpose to the work. That spirit is what leads to transformational support and lasting community impact.To ensure your campaign ends in a celebration, download our free Capital Campaign Step-by-Step Guide & Checklist. This intuitive guide breaks down each step of your campaign, and the timeline allows you to visualize your whole campaign, from start to finish!
Andrew and Rhen close out their capital campaign series by tackling a question many nonprofits don't think about until it's too late: What happens after you hit your goal? Please take note - the work isn't over! Yes, take time to celebrate (pop that champagne!), but the real opportunity lies in what you do next. This is your chance to transform one-time campaign donors into loyal, long-term supporters of your annual fund.Andrew and Rhen break down the essential tasks for transitioning out of campaign mode, including how to ensure those pledges actually turn into payments. Their advice centers on two key strategies: consistent communication and donor education. Invest in your donors now, and they'll invest in your mission for years to come.For the pledge redemption resource Rhen mentioned in the episode, check out our Petrus website by clicking HERE.

A core principle shapes the success of every capital campaign, and this conversation clarifies exactly how it works and why it matters.In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, co-hosts Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt talk with each other about the strategic order of solicitation and how top gifts drive momentum, confidence, and overall campaign performance.Andrea explains why campaigns depend on gifts of varied sizes and how a thoughtful gift range chart helps leaders understand what it will take to reach a major goal. Amy expands on the Pareto principle and the 90/10 pattern that appears so frequently in campaign fundraising, reinforcing why the top group of donors must be approached early.Together, they illustrate the concepts of top-down and inside-out solicitation (beginning with the largest donors and the most committed insiders) so the quiet phase can build meaningful early progress. They share examples of how organizations can get stuck when they start by asking everyone at once, including a story about an animal shelter that initially relied on broad direct mail outreach before learning how to focus on individual conversations with high-capacity supporters.Listeners also hear how early board commitments strengthen the case for support, how confidence shapes donor response, and how a clear strategy influences staffing, timing, and long-term relationship building. Andrea and Amy outline the anxiety many teams feel when approaching top donors, and how a well-run feasibility study helps leaders prepare for these pivotal conversations.By the end of the episode, you will understand the structure behind a successful quiet phase and how this approach sets the stage for a strong public launch and stronger fundraising overall.To see if your organization is truly ready for a capital campaign, download this free Readiness Assessment.

If your capital campaign includes a construction or renovation project, there's far more to think about than fundraising goals and donor lists. In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, host Andrea Kihlstedt sits down with Sanjeevanee Vidwans, an independent capital project management consultant, to unpack what it really takes to plan and manage a successful building project from the owner's side.Sanjeevanee, a civil engineer turned project management expert, explains the pivotal role of an owner's representative — the person who helps nonprofit leaders, boards, and executive directors make informed decisions throughout complex construction projects. She shares how bringing in an owner's rep early can help you assess potential sites, align budgets with design realities, and avoid expensive surprises down the line.Listeners will learn how project feasibility studies differ from fundraising feasibility studies, what to expect when hiring architects and contractors, and how to keep scope, budget, and schedule aligned from concept to completion. The conversation bridges the gap between campaign planning and construction management, giving nonprofit leaders practical insights for steering multimillion-dollar projects with confidence.Through real-world examples — including major academic and nonprofit facilities — Sanjeevanee reveals what makes collaboration between owners, architects, and construction managers truly work. She also discusses how even smaller organizations can benefit from owner's rep guidance, ensuring every dollar raised is spent wisely.Whether your organization is dreaming of a new arts center, school expansion, or community facility, this episode will help you understand how to manage your project's moving parts, anticipate potential pitfalls, and build a team that shares your vision. Tune in to learn how preparation, communication, and the right expertise can turn your campaign's construction goals into a reality.To ensure your campaign ends in a celebration, download our free Capital Campaign Step-by-Step Guide & Checklist.

Welcome back for part 2 of our 4-part series on all things capital campaigns! Last week, Andrew and Rhen explored feasibility studies. This week, they're tackling the critical preparation phase—that crucial period between your feasibility study and your first campaign ask. As Andrew emphasizes throughout this episode, the preparation phase is about winning the game on paper. This is when your organization strategizes, prepares, and researches. Andrew and Rhen walk through every strategic and administrative thing that needs to happen before you make your first public campaign ask. Skip this phase, and you risk missing critical details, approaching donors unprepared, or worse! Like the feasibility study, this phase is an investment in your long-term success. Don't shortcut it—your campaign depends on getting this right.To access Petrus's campaign preparation guide that Rhen mentions in the episode, please click HERE.
