Project Name

Campaign Strategic Planning

Project Goals

Create a strategic fund raising plan to guide the board, staff and key volunteers through organization's first major campaign.

Outcome

During an intensive six week period, FDA created a detailed, step-by-step work plan to enable the Amherst Cinema Center to raise $1.5 million. The plan and subsequent guidance by FDA enabled the organization to meet its medium term fund raising goal and open the Cinema to the public.

Testimonial


FDA was a tremendous resource to us throughout the planning and implementation stages of this complex process. Their plan was solid, and they were available to advise us every step of the way—and now we are up and running!
