New how-to: Writing the case for a major capital campaign
Got to raise a billion?
Learn the science and secrets of telling your story in a donor-inspiring way.
A major campaign is different.

To make goal in a typical billion-dollar university campaign, you'll need to convince more than 100,000 people to give. Maybe half of them will be first-timers who have never given you a penny before.

What makes people rally? A good story helps. But good stories don't just happen. They're carefully made. A terrific case statement is as much applied psychology as it is good writing. And most institutions focus on exactly the wrong things.

Learn what it takes to make a great case. Ahern Communications now offers staff training and leadership orientation for institutions embarking on major capital campaigns. We developed this training over several years and field-tested it. It transfers to your staff and leadership the best practices of the world's most successful campaign case writers. For full details, email us or phone 401-397-8104.
