Case Study:

Sioux County Conservation Foundation

Hawarden, IA

Capital Campaign Counsel

Pre-Campaign Process (feasibility study)

Prairie Woods Nature Center Campaign

Amount Raised: $4.8 million

Building on a rich tradition of conservation and love of the outdoors, Sioux County sought to build a new home for educational programming.  Partnering with RGI to first complete a Pre-Campaign Process then conduct a successful capital campaign, the project received broad support county-wide and included soliciting both public investments (county, municipal), investment from the State of Iowa through a successful Enhance Iowa Grant application and local fundraising.  Prairie Woods Nature Center is now the highlight of the year for students of all ages who visit and learn to love the natural world surrounding us.

"Renaissance Group was the leadership we needed when starting our fundraising campaign. The RGI team was insightful, professional, easy to work with and experienced. Our campaign was a success largely because of the leadership in grants, feasibility studies and meetings with supporters."
