Annual Campaign

Who Needs An Annual Campaign?

An Annual Campaign raises money to pay for the agency's programs, services and administration. The DNS Annual Campaign Process does not stop when the money is raised. The agency learns how to build relationships with donors that will elevate their support in succeeding years.

 

What Are The Benefits & Results?

Many campaigns fail to meet their goals because they fall behind, get off track or people do not do what they plan to do. Our approach addresses these needs:

  • Scheduled campaign status reviews led by a DNS consultant. Problems and potential problems are identified and are never more than a couple of weeks old! The DNS consultant works with your agency to develop a solution that can be applied immediately.

  • DNS provides training at key points in the campaign for things such as planning, leadership recruitment, prospecting, and soliciting.

  • The DNS consultant is available to you for ad-hoc advice.

  • Our procedures and tools are the result of 20 years of fundraising experience.

  • The campaign intranet enables you and your colleagues to manage and track your campaign 24/7 using state-of-the-art technology that has been adapted to make it easy for the agency to use.

 

What Do We Get?

The Annual Campaign subscription gives your organization:

  • Unlimited access to the DNS campaign procedures and tools for 1 year.

  • A private intranet for your agency that allows you to share news, monitor campaign milestones, schedule meetings and events, share files, and contact a DNS consultant online.

  • Training by a DNS consultant in key phases of the campaign (such as planning, prospecting, leadership recruitment, and solicitations).

  • Scheduled campaign status reviews conducted by a DNS consultant.

  • Up to 20 hours of additional consulting support.

  • Detailed research on your top 25 donor prospects.

 

How Much Does It Cost?

The subscription fee is $7,500 a year. If you renew for a second year within 60 days of the end of your first year's campaign solicitations, you will receive a special discounted price of $5,000.
