Are the same strategies used for renewals and for increases in gift amounts? What additional strategies are used? Does your organization conduct an annual fund? What fundraising strategies are used? Does your organization also have a major (or special) gifts program? Has the organization conducted a capital campaign recently? Was it successful? Why or why not? Does your organization have a planned giving program? How effective is it? If there is no program now, should the organization begin planning and implementing one?
