Feasibility Studies

The Feasibility Study is the most important factor in determining your campaign’s ultimate success.  The study identifies potential gift support, campaign leaders and organizational strengths and weaknesses, providing key insights on how to meet campaign goals most effectively.

Meliora Group LLC ensures a detailed and distinct campaign assessment guided by our diverse experience and vast resources. 

Using quantitative and qualitative analyses, we will analyze the following factors to provide information for your campaign decisions regarding appropriate goals and priorities:

Does your organization boast a compelling case for support? Are the organization’s needs clear and succinct? Are there sufficient major donor prospects to fund the campaign? Are there volunteers capable of leading and assisting with the campaign? Are there adequate resources to conduct the campaign?  Specifically, is there capable staff, adequate funding, and relevant technology? Is there a clear plan and strategy for implementing the campaign?

Meliora Group LLC provides a solid indication of your organization’s ability to meet its campaign goals.  Both internal and external assessments of your organization and its prospective goals will be conducted to provide a clear idea of what the funding process will entail.

The internal assessment may include:

Identification of staff and leadership potential, with assessment of the organization’s ability to manage and encourage donors and volunteers Determination and implementation of campaign strategies Analysis of your organization’s readiness to support a major campaign Determination of the financial ability and accuracy of your major donors and general donor database Confidential interviews with key contributors to the campaign, including board members, volunteers, potential donors, and community members   

Likewise, the external assessment will be based on the confidential interviews and other research including:

A review of public and community attitudes and feelings toward your organization.  More specifically, what is the perception of your organization’s reputation in the community and the potential for success

Defining issues that are key to the campaign’s success

After collecting all necessary and relevant material, a detailed and information-rich report is generated including a recommendation regarding the potential success of the proposed campaign. An on-site presentation to staff and volunteers will be made.
