Why Conduct a Feasibility Study?




                 any  graduates  may  wonder,  “Why  do  we  need  to
                 conduct a capital campaign feasibility study?” The
        M answer is simple: just because we want to renovate and
        expand the house doesn’t necessarily mean that we can conduct a
        successful fundraising campaign that will get us all the way there.
        This feasibility study will allow us to accomplish several tasks
        designed to gauge the potential success of the campaign, including,
        but not limited to:
        •  Determining the overall interest level and support of the campaign
          by our brothers and assessing the overall fraternity experience of
          our alumni from a broad spectrum of generations.
        •  Identifying those brothers with the capacity to make lead and
          mid-tier gifts, obtaining their reactions to the project, and deter-
          mining if they have interest in supporting it.
        •  Educating our alumni on the need for the project and identifying
          the people we will have involved to ensure success.
        •  Identifying alumni interested and willing to help as volunteers
          throughout the campaign and on one of the ongoing committees.
        •  Most importantly, from all this feedback, establishing an achiev-  our alumni. Keeping the best interest of the chapter in mind, the ACB
          able campaign goal and campaign execution plan.
