About Andrea Kihlstedt

My restless mind keeps me coming up with new ways to do old things. The list is long but here\'s a sampling: Asking Styles, guided feasibility studies, donor discussion guides, co-founded Capital Campaign Masters, that led to now, Capital Campaign Pro. Capital Campaign Pro (formerly Capital Campaign Toolkit) gives nonprofit leaders have direct access to all the guidance and tools they need to implement successful campaigns — without the need to hire an expensive consultant.I have been fortunate to work with some remarkable people in the nonprofit sector including Brian Saber, Gail Perry, Andy Robinson, Amy Eisenstein and many more. I have been leading successful capital campaigns for more than 30 years. I am the author of How to Raise $1 Million (or More) in 10 Bite Sized Steps, in addition to other books. I am most proud of Capital Campaigns: Strategies that Work, now in it\'s 4th edition. I believe it\'s the only book on the subject to have such staying power. You can purchase on Amazon. accept direct messages and business inquiries by anyone on LinkedIn for free, even if we’re not connected.
