Once each year the Kosasa Foundation considers requests for capital campaigns. For KF, these requests are characterized in the following way:

• Projects are intensive and time limited
• Goal is a transformational project such as long-term investment in organization’s physical assets, infrastructure, or financial capacity
  (we do not fund campaigns for endowments)
• Differs from raising annual operating revenue for regular programs and staffing costs
• Transformational  projects typically include:
• Buildings and Facilities
• Equipment or Technology
• Major Program Expansion

While KF has limited funds for capital requests, successful projects tend to be those that:

• Have a project design that reflects thoughtful research, community input, and guidance from architectural and construction professionals. Permitting is underway with no known problems
• The campaign is well underway toward its goal, draws from diverse funding sources, and has staff capacity to secure the remaining funds.
• The project makes sense for the organization now. The organization is financially stable and can sustain new operating costs after completion.
