Major Fundraising Campaigns Are Alive and Effective

It struck me as odd. And then it frustrated me.

A recap of a recent fundraising conference cited a speaker on strategic planning as noting that the days of major campaigns are over and that organizations are going to ongoing campaigns.

I have to confess — as someone who loves a valid strategic planning process, I abhor consultants who lead a planning process and then direct their clients to outcomes. The plans look a lot alike. And the consultants too often pick up another gig to help implement what they influenced.
