Capital Campaign Counsel
Pre-Campaign Process (feasibility study)
Des Moines Performing Arts
Goals: $9 million & $12 millionOver the span of ten years, RGI was honored to assist the Des Moines Performing Arts Center
in providing feasibility studies and subsequent counsel for two successful campaigns. The first
campaign provided resources to significantly update the interior of the Civic Center on the
occasion of the organization’s 25th anniversary. The second campaign transformed the former
Nollen Plaza into the iconic Cowles Commons – an outdoor venue providing entertainment and
community gathering space for all ages.
"RGI was the right choice to help with our campaign. Their outside perspective and common sense counsel was very valuable. Would we use them again? Absolutely."
- Jeff Chelesvig, President & CEO
