The concept...
Capital Affairs focuses on helping organizations design and implement special events, meetings, conferences, conventions, training seminars, retreats and much more. The concept of total event management was designed to help organizations save time and money through experienced attention to event planning details.

Our mission is to alleviate the stress that burdens staff at all levels when planning an event. Capital Affairs understands that often times staff is inundated with the day-to-day responsibilities of their own job. Adding the additional responsibility of event planning can often be overwhelming.

The method...
Capital Affairs believes in listening to clients and their ideas for reaching their organization's objectives. Our staff is available to assist in any way necessary to achieve a successful event. Capital Affairs can help with the design, theme, site coordination, program planning, registration, on-site support, material design, marketing, speaker coordination and much more. For not-for-profit organizations planning fundraisers, Capital Affairs can help with the design of sponsorship packages and materials. Organizations utilize as much support as they need.  

Capital Affairs staff has comprehensive experience planning events for both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. From statewide conferences and training seminars to wine tasting fundraisers, Capital Affairs staff has built their reputation on careful attention to detail.  

The cost...
Capital Affairs strives to be a cost-effective and stress-free alternative. Our experienced staff will work within your budget to plan your event. Organizations can receive a package rate for total event management or a modified package rate based on the level of support needed. Hourly billing is an available option for organizations needing a little extra event planning support to meet their objectives.  

• Integrated Fundraising Solutions

The concept...
Capital Affairs focuses on helping small to mid-size not-for-profit organizations build sustainable fundraising programs. Our mission is to help not-for-profits build new fundraising programs from the ground up. Capital Affairs staff will work with organizations toward the goal of having enough sustainable income to support the hiring of an in-house development staff associate.  

For the not-for-profit organization that currently employs a development staff associate, Capital Affairs can assist with a with fundraising needs assessment to help take current fundraising programs to a higher level. Sometimes additional fundraising support is all an organization needs to take the next steps toward growth.  

Capital Affairs staff understands that employees in growing not-for-profit organizations are often inundated with more work than is possible and financial constraints that often plague this industry. Our hands-on approach can help alleviate some of the stress.

The method...
Capital Affairs staff have unique experience working with both grassroots and community-based organizations. It's an approach that can help your organization on the road to financial stability.  

Capital Affairs staff takes a comprehensive approach to start-up fundraising. We will work with your board of directors, with a hands-on approach, to incorporate direct mail, special event friendraisers/fundraisers, marketing, public relations and much more. Each program is tailored to an organization's needs and potential fundraising outcomes.

Capital Affairs works with strategic partners in the community to give not-for-profit organizations a full-service experience utilizing the best the region has to offer.

• Awareness Campaigns

The concept...
Capital Affairs focuses on the design and implementation of awareness campaigns that directly target the philanthropic community. The goal is to increase the visibility of the not-for-profit organization to potential donors and communicate a strong case for funding.  

The method...
Capital Affairs supports not-for-profit organizations who are experiencing reduced government funding, as well as competition for local corporate and philanthropic dollars. Our staff understands your organization's need to carefully position itself as a sustainable, worthwhile not-for-profit. Capital Affairs can assist you in positioning your organization to stand out in this aggressive environment, and keep your organization's issues before the public eye.

There is a tremendous amount of competition in the Capital Region for media coverage for not-for-profit organizations, and limited venues in which to communicate your message. Capital Affairs will help develop a consistent message to communicate and distinguish what news is "news-worthy" and establish the appropriate contacts; all while reminding the media, elected officials, and your donor community about your not-for-profit's expertise, services, and characteristics that make your organization unique.

Most not-for-profit organizations recognize the importance of outreach efforts and daily public relations tasks. But resources are limited, and staff capacity is maximized. Capital Affairs can help you create and communicate a cohesive message... one that instills confidence in donors and foundations.  

The cost...
Capital Affairs strives to be a cost-effective and stress-free alternative. Organizations can receive a package rate for a comprehensive awareness campaign, or a modified package rate based on the level of support needed.   Hourly billing is an available option for organizations needing a little extra public relations support to meet their objectives.
