FRCW can undertake a funding feasibility study for you. Should you carry out a Funding Feasibility Study for your planned project?  FRCW recommends it for any project that requires more than $1,000,000 in private sector fundraising. The Deliverables of a Funding Feasibility Study outlined below speak for themselves. Such a study will reduce your risk of not succeeding with your campaign.  The results of the study will reveal how much you can raise, where the money will come from, who (volunteers) will lead your campaign, the degree of faith people place on your organization in the community and your internal strengths and weaknesses in carrying out the effort.  It’s also a market study. It will tell you what other organizations you may have to compete with in the philanthropic and sponsorship marketplace.
