Capital campaigns are usually organized as big, multi year fundraising efforts, designed to get an organization to the next level of programming and service. But it doesn't always have to be about a new building or a renovation. Capital campaigns can be about technology and rebranding - whatever needs to be done to build the capacity of an organization to jump to another level of service.  You'll know success if at the end of the campaign, your community and your organization looks and feels different than when you started.   My guest this week is Amy Eisenstein, ACFRE.
