Development Assessment/Feasibility
Studies
 In 2004
found itself at a critical juncture
in its resource development. Facing
the demand for more branches and
program services to meet the needs
of a burgeoning community, it also
was launching ImaginOn: The Joe &
Joan Martin Center.
Vandever Batten provided fundraising
counsel through a strategic
development planning process to
develop a long-term fundraising
program that met the growing
financial needs of the evolving
institution in an increasingly
competitive environment.
 Under the auspices of the
, the Housing Trust
Fund oversees allocation of public
funds for affordable housing. The
Trust Fund decided to study the
feasibility of starting the
(CHF)
as an entity within the Foundation
for the Carolinas. To increase the
amount of available affordable
housing, the CHF would raise private
funds to be invested along with
public dollars.
Vandever Batten assessed the
feasibility of a $15 million
campaign intended to fund the CHF
and to leverage private support with
public dollars to meet Charlotte’s
exploding need for affordable
housing. Following the assessment,
Vandever Batten made recommendations
to the Housing Trust Fund for
developing its base of support and
solidifying its infrastructure as
essential elements of its future
fundraising success.
