Mini Feasibility Study


Targeted Insight to Help You Make Smart, Confident Decisions


Traditional planning and feasibility studies can cost $20,000 or more, take several months to complete, and require extensive staff and volunteer involvement. While those studies can be valuable — especially as a precursor to a major capital campaign — they aren’t always practical or necessary.

While often associated with campaign planning, a Mini Feasibility Study can be used in a variety of strategic ways — to test readiness for a campaign, align leadership around a shared direction, reset donor relationships, or evaluate a new idea before committing significant time and resources.

Whatever the motivation, the goal is the same: to replace assumptions with insight and move forward with greater confidence.

The Mini Feasibility Study is designed for organizations that need clarity now — not a prolonged process.

This Package Includes:

  • Study Welcome Kit and Process Guide
    A clear framework outlining roles, timelines, and next steps.

  • Core Study Materials
    Preparation of essential written materials, including a concise donor-facing Vision Statement (up to 2 pages), a simplified study calendar, and a preliminary gift chart aligned with your goals and aspirations.

  • Interviewee Identification and Outreach Support
    Guidance on identifying a targeted group of donors, leaders, and key stakeholders, along with draft invitation letters and scheduling support.

  • Confidential Stakeholder Interviews
    A team of two senior Baker Street consultants will conduct a series of confidential interviews via Zoom or phone.

  • Written Mini Feasibility Study Report
    A professionally written report summarizing key themes, findings, conclusions, and actionable recommendations.

  • Board Presentation Session
    A Zoom session to review highlights, discuss findings, and answer questions with your board or leadership team.

  • Executive Influence Summary
    A confidential executive summary identifying individuals with the potential to significantly influence your organization’s future through giving, leadership, insight, or connections.

  • Bonus Follow-Up Session
    One Zoom check-in to review progress, discuss next steps, and refine recommendations as you begin implementation.


    What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • Clear insight into your organization’s readiness, risks, and opportunities

  • Honest, third-party feedback from key stakeholders

  • Practical recommendations you can act on immediately

  • A stronger understanding of leadership and donor dynamics
