Managing a successful capital project takes more than fundraising—it requires careful planning, realistic budgeting, and strong collaboration from the very beginning. In this webinar, Heller Fundraising Group CEO Kate Jaeger-Thomas sits down with James Neu and Jonah Stern of DBI Projects to discuss how nonprofits can successfully navigate the complexities of planning and executing major capital projects.

Together, they discuss:

• How to define your project's true scope and space needs

• Identifying realistic funding sources and aligning them with your project timeline

• Understanding the full costs of a capital project beyond construction

• Common red flags and planning mistakes that can derail a project

• The organizational capacity required to support a successful capital campaign and construction project

• Lessons learned from real-world client experiences and complex capital projects

Whether you're in the early stages of exploring a new facility or preparing to launch a capital campaign, this conversation offers practical insights to help your organization make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.
