Capital Campaign Advice From the Field

Julie Youngquist, vice president of institutional advancement for LHYS, says one notable challenge the organization has encountered during the campaign is competition from a slew of other capital campaigns going on right now in Chicago, plus the city’s 2016 Olympic bid.

Youngquist says the organization has surmounted that challenge by stressing in campaign fundraising materials that LHYS is a social-services agency, unlike many of the other campaigns currently underway in the area.
