Conduct prospect research.

Help plan and execute “the ask”.
Average Process Timelines
BASIC CAMPAIGN

Congregations under 500
Amounts needed under $3 million
Consider a 2-year campaign
LARGE CAMPAIGN
(for large or multi-site churches or organizations)
Congregations over 500

Note: Calendar timing should be considered, but not a prerequisite, as parts of a campaign can essentially run most anytime.
