The Planning/Feasibility Study is a critical step in any financial development process.

Prior to entering into any major fundraising initiative, a Planning/Feasibility Study should be conducted to determine how the campaign should be conducted and what is achievable.

Not only does the study assess the ability of an organization to raise a determined amount of money for a specific purpose, it can identify opportunities and threats, gauge opinions, and test assumptions being made by the organization.

The following key objectives distinguish a Planning / Feasibility Study:

	To assess the various strengths and weaknesses of a specific organization as they develop their fundraising strategy and particular elements of that program.
	To test the proposed plans by conducting interviews with those closest to the organization (such as board members, staff, committed donors, volunteers, etc.)
	To identify sources of funding.
	To identify potential leaders and volunteers for the campaign.
	To determine the most appropriate timing for the campaign.
	To determine whether the proposed plan and financial goals are realistic.
	To begin the engagement or cultivation process with potential donors.
	To gather any other information that would be helpful to the organization and its fundraising efforts.
	To identify issues or other areas of potential concern which may have a negative or positive impact on a particular fundraising program.
