Major gifts are given for a specific purpose. They are accessed by methodically working through a series of prospects using a small group of selected volunteers facilitated by FMC Australia.

Ideally, prospects are approached only after a feasibility study has provided a positive response to any proposition.

FMC Australia's role in such a campaign can range from providing external guidance and advice, to a full service, professionally managed campaign. Advice on the preparation and implementation of major gift approaches can also greatly enhance an organisation's prospect of success when undertaking such a campaign.
