RANCHO CUCAMONGA CULTURAL CENTER PROJECT
FUND DEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR THE RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND THE
RANCHO CUCAMONGA LIBRARY FOUNDATION
BACKGROUND:
Nearly a year ago, the Community Foundation retained the services of a consultant to assist the
Foundation in achieving a state of"fund raising readiness" prior to launching an Endowment
Campaign for the performing arts theatre at the Cultural Center. At that time, the Foundation
had endorsed a $1.1 million campaign goal for the Endowment Fund. At the same time the
Library Foundation had adopted the goal of raising $500,000 for books for the new library at the
Cultural Center.
Initial consultant assisted discussions and trainings for the Community Foundation focused on
board duties and responsibilities and then on board development. A plan for Board expansion
was designed and implemented. Several new Boardmembers were added to the Community
Foundation Board of Directors. Lastly, the Foundation was provided training in how to fund-raise
most effectively at the level required.
Several months ago, a joint meeting of the two foundations, the Rancho Cucamonga
Community Foundation and the Rancho Cucamonga Library Foundation was held to explore the
possibility of working as a team in fundraising for the Cultural Center. The outcome of this
meeting was a mutually agreed upon collaboration between the two Foundations for the
purposes of fundraising for the Cultural Center. Library Foundation Boardmembers then went
through a similar series of discussions and trainings with the consultant.
An outcome of these activities is this fund development plan and supporting documents. This
plan has been adopted with the understanding that it is a framework to help guide the
Foundations through the next two years of the fundraising for the Cultural Center Campaign.
MAJOR CAMPAIGN STRATEGY:
Major campaigns are staged in two phases: Phase One, the silent phase and Phase Two, the
high profile phase. The silent phase is when the volunteers and campaign staff research and
solicit the major donor prospects. The goal of this phase of the Campaign is to obtain gifts
and/or firm pledges of at least one-third of the total campaign goal. This is so that when the
Campaign is announced publicly and the marketing gets into high gear (Phase Two), the
Campaign is kicked off with the announcement of major gifts already obtained, etc. Doing so
adds enormously to the ultimate success probability of the campaign. It is common practice to
focus on major donor prospects during Phase One, although planning for the smaller gift
solicitations typically goes on also.
The Community and Library Foundations have mutually agreed that the fundraising priority
during Phase One will be solicitation of major gifts, however, the Foundations agreed that
members may also during Phase One have the opportunity go forward without publicity to
gather smaller contributions from individual donors. Given the wide variety of fundraising
expertise on the Boards, this exception to the plan will allow all Boardmembers to be actively
fundraising during this initial phase of the Campaign.
CAMPAIGN DOLLAR GOAL:
The original goal of the Community Foundation was to raise $1.1 million for an Endowment
Fund for the performing arts theatre at the Cultural Center. The Library Foundation goal was to ?
raise $500,000 for books for the library at the Cultural Center. With the collaboration of the two
1
Foundations one campaign with two objectives was agreed upon. Ultimately, a Campaign goal
$2 million was established. This goal allows for the recoup of costs associated with fundraising
for the Campaign as well as Foundations' goals for the theatre, library and the Endowment
Fund.
PURPOSE OF THE ENDOWMENT:
Originally, the endowment was only for the theatre portion of the Cultural Center. As the
important shift was taken place toward merging the Library Foundation campaign goal and
volunteers and the Community Foundation campaign goal and volunteers into one Campaign
team with a common goal, it made sense for the Endowment Fund to support both the operation
of the theatre and the library. The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to provide a revenue
source that will enhance and augment library and arts programming.
FUND RAISING SPLIT BETWEEN LIBRARY AND THEATRE:
The Foundations decided that the first million dollars of undesignated funds raised would be
divided evenly between the Endowment Fund and the Library Book objectives. This, of course,
does not apply to gifts designated by the donor specifically for the Library or the theatre. After
each objective has achieved at least$500,000, the remainder of all undesignated funds raised
will go into the Endowment Fund.
CAMPAIGN NAME AND LOGO:
- It is-important-that-the campaign-have-its own identity. A unique-name, logo, letterhead, etc. for
the Campaign is needed in order to achieve public identity. Various names for the Campaign
have been discussed but none accepted by both Foundations' as of yet.
CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEER LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE:
Honorary Committee
Non-Celebrity Members—What is needed from them.
- a financial contribution
- ideas and donor prospects
- public endorsement

Balzar.

2
Campaign Cabinet—What is needed from them.
- a stretch gift
- solicit donations
- provide prospective donor names
- actual management and coordination of the campaign, supported by staff.
Recommended members include: Co-Chairs of each of the Foundations, Tony Mize
and Paul Williams. Other members recommended are: Jo Dutton, Mike Arreguin,
Ruth Leal, Ray Wimberly, a leader from one of the local school districts.
Other members of the Honorary Committee and the Campaign Cabinet may be recommended
when advantageous to the Campaign.
Campaign Divisions
The two Foundations will serve as divisions of the Campaign. The divisions report to the
Campaign Cabinet. The division of the two Foundations is at the task level. While both will be
conducting personal solicitations of individuals and businesses, each will be responsible for a
different fund-raising event. The Library Foundation will produce the telethon and the
Community Foundation will produce the gala. All undesignated funds from both events will go
into the Endowment Fund.
CAMPAIGN STAFFING:
The staffing pattern agreed upon by the Foundations for the initial Phase of the Campaign is as
follows:
a. Community Services and Library staff to provide administrative support and
coordination for the Campaign. -
b. City staff to provide secretarial support for the Campaign.
c. Consultant to provide approximately twenty hours per month of technical
support in fund development for the Campaign.
d. The Campaign Cabinet would be responsible for major campaign decisions.
e. The Campaign Cabinet and the divisions would be primarily responsible for soliciting
donations.
CAMPAIGN BUDGET:
Given the above staffing pattern and the fact that the City is already funding a variety of
Campaign expenses from different sources, the only items left unaccounted in the Campaign
Budget are the consultant fee and a hospitality line item to allow Campaign volunteers to take
major donor prospects to lunch as part of the"Ask" when those meal expenses are more than
personal or company expense budgets can absorb.
CAMPAIGN TIMELINE:
A detailed timeline has been developed by the Foundations that sets forth a sequence of events
for the Campaign. In addition, the timeline also includes some notes on Campaign strategy. This
Campaign Timeline has been provided as an Appendix to this plan.
DONOR RECOGNITION PROGRAM:
The Foundations have developed a detailed Donor Recognition Program for the Campaign.
This information is provided as an Appendix to this plan.

GIFT CHART:
The Foundations have developed a Gift Chart noting statistical averages for achieving major
gifts. This chart indicates gift levels, number of gifts required to achieve stated goal and the
number of prospects required. A copy of the Gift Chart is provided as an Appendix to this plan.

1. Campaign plan formatted by City staff for presentation to City Council.

Remember, the events are strategic aspects of, and are subordinate to the overall goal. They
are done primarily to achieve the overall goal, so don't worry about sorting out what the event
raised from individual solicitations. It's not usually good to ask someone for $10,000 or
