The first phase of a Capital Campaign is Relationship-building and Training Phase.

During this initial phase, core leadership and the newly-formed Finance/Stewardship Team will be instructed on procedures to be used during the Capital Campaign. It is at this time that the leadership team will, hopefully, become motivated to complete the task set before them. This session is often held on a Saturday to avoid conflicts with team members’ individual schedules. This interactive training period is planned to produce a campaign theme, timeline, budget and, often, a plan to communicate the process to the constituency. Some team members will also be encouraged to carry out specific tasks related to the capital campaign kick-off event.
