What is a Campaign? Why are campaigns started?
A Campaign is:
Campaign
An operation or series of operations energetically pursued to accomplish a purpose
Capital Campaign
An intensive, time-limited fundraising endeavour to meet a specific financial goal in order to fund a special project such as the construction of a facility or the acquisition of equipment. Capital campaigns are usually designed to improve an organization’s service to its community.
Awareness Campaign
An effort to make the public aware of a cause, project or situation through education
Annual Campaign
Any organized effort by an organization to obtain gifts on a yearly basis, usually to support in part or total the general operations. An Annual Campaign is often referred to as Annual Giving, and is defined as seeking funds on an annual or recurring basis from the same constituency. Income is generally used for operating budget support.

Campaigns are usually started because a charity is trying to raise money for a larger endevour or project. Due to the lack of publicly available funding from governments, budget constraints and competing priorities many charities are turning to the private sector for financial assistance. Private-sector donations are needed in order to achieve these goals that will shape the future of a society or community.
