What is a Capital Fundraising Campaign?

Capital Fundraising Campaigns raise specific amounts of money by asking for it face to face from a small number of corporate and private individuals in a short and defined period of time, and at the least cost.

Capital Campaigns are designed to raise money for capital expenditure on new buildings, infrastructure, research, people & programs, equipment and endowment funds.

How much does it cost to appoint FMC Australia to conduct a capital fundraising campaign?

The cost of a campaign depends on the size of the project and the time required for its completion. Fees are set on a monthly basis at the commencement of a campaign. They are not based on a percentage of the funds raised.

The organisation engaging FMC Australia's services will be advised before the commencement of the Campaign as to all costs involved; how long the Campaign will take; and any likely variables.

How long does a capital fundraising campaign take?

The length of a capital fundraising campaign is determined upon numerous factors including the size and scope of the project, the urgency of the cause, the amount of money needed to be raised and the individual client needs.

Where does FMC Australia operate?

FMC Australia has consultants nationally working from offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Why appoint FMC Australia?

Ample evidence supports FMC Australia's conviction that fundraising programs utilising external consultants are more cost-effective than those conducted in-house. The experience and skilled Executive Management can uncover opportunities, which may not be obvious to the untrained eye. They bring objectivity and a fresh approach to any situation and with their wealth of consulting experience, can help you avoid potentially costly mistakes and pitfalls.

Using FMC Australia's services can also free your own staff members to carry out their normal day-to-day duties, which most often are full time commitments carrying out existing fundraising and public relations activities.
