Q: Consultants versus in house on feasibility studies. Any opinions?

A: Difficult to answer, but as a consultant (!) you will always find "politics" within organisations and external people often are able to get more "real" views of what is and what is not possible. (Posted 16/04/2001)

Q: We would like to look at running a major gift campaign and think we will need external consultants. Are there opinions on this?

A: Many, but the best advice before starting a specific Major Gift campaign (as opposed to having a major gift policy) is to find out if there are enough individuals with affluence and influence who will be interested in what you are proposing. Research is ABSOLOUTELY vital and a resource or feasibility study needs to be conducted. (Posted 16/04/2001)
