This week, we are speaking with Sarasota Orchestra’s board chair, Tom Koski. Together, we speak about how he got into philanthropy in Sarasota, fundraising for capital campaigns as a board chair, and the massive projects he has been involved with in Sarasota County.
The secret sauce to a capital campaign? Tom say's it is communicating the need. You take on massive projects because the sustainability of your organization is challenged without it. These projects are not "want to have's" they are "need to have's".
