We strongly believe in the Feasibility Study as a valuable tool for the Board during the campaign planning stage. It shows your constituency a commitment to research and "due diligence" now common to many independent schools.

In addition to the education it provides, the feasibility study also assists in the identification and cultivation of major gift prospects and key volunteers. The report provides important information including the Board's attitude toward and role in the campaign, selection of a chair, setting a realistic goal, development of case statement and other campaign materials, coordination with the annual fund and overall timing.

If the report indicates that you are not ready for a campaign, we will provide specific reasons and suggestions for better readiness.

"FORD & ASSOCIATES, after a thorough feasibility study, provided a comprehensive analysis of our school's ability to raise funds. They then organized our 'core' group and guided us in the proper direction."
