### Your Capital Campaign Questions Answered

July 21, 2014 By [Guest Contributor Brent Hafele](https://blog.dickersonbakker.com/author/guest-contributor-brent-hafele) [Capital Campaigns](https://blog.dickersonbakker.com/tag/capital-campaigns)

Recently, I gave a webinar on how to avoid four common capital campaign mistakes.  The response has been phenomenal.  Nonprofit leaders from all over North America responded with excellent questions to me in the webinar itself and by email afterward.  There are clearly a lot of questions about how to do capital campaigns well. 

There wasn’t time in the webinar to answer everyone’s questions.  So I offered to those on the webinar to answer their questions via the DBA Blog. Over the next few weeks, I will answer many of the questions in a more personal way using YouTube videos.  I welcome you to join in with those who attended that webinar to learn more about capital campaigns.

The first question comes from Susan of Pennsylvania:

“If you are not ready \[for a capital campaign\] but your agency is gaining a high profile and growing fast – how do you get ready?”
