capital campaign

A capital campaign is a targeted fundraising effort by an organization—such as a nonprofit, school, or healthcare facility—focused on raising a substantial amount of money within a specific timeframe. The funds are typically designated for a major project or purpose, like constructing a new building, renovating facilities, or acquiring significant assets. The campaign involves soliciting donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, often through personal appeals and events. Its goal is to gather the necessary financial resources to support the organization’s long-term growth or infrastructure needs.
