News: Capital Campaign Pro Leaders Release New Book for Nonprofit Board Members

New guide helps board members understand their role in capital campaign fundraising and lead with greater confidence.

WESTFIELD, N.J. — June 25, 2026 — Capital Campaign Pro today announced the release of A Board Member’s Guide to Capital Campaign Fundraising: How to Raise Game-Changing Money for Your Nonprofit, a practical new resource designed to help nonprofit board members better understand and support successful capital campaigns.

Written by fundraising experts Amy Eisenstein, ACFRE, and Sarah Plimpton, the book addresses one of the most common challenges in campaign fundraising: board members are integral to successful campaigns, yet many have never been taught how capital campaigns work or what role they should play in the process.

Through clear explanations, real-world examples, and practical guidance, A Board Member’s Guide to Capital Campaign Fundraising answers the questions board members ask most often, dispels common misconceptions, and provides a roadmap for meaningful engagement in a campaign.

“Nonprofit board members care deeply about the organizations they serve, but capital campaigns can feel intimidating when no one has explained how they work,” said Amy Eisenstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Capital Campaign Pro. “Our goal with this book is to help board members feel informed, empowered, and excited about the role they can play in helping their organizations achieve ambitious goals. Stronger boards lead to stronger nonprofits, and that’s good for the communities they serve.”

To coincide with the book’s release, Eisenstein and Plimpton are hosting a free public webinar today, Six Common Board Member Questions About Capital Campaigns. During the session, they will address frequently asked questions, bust common myths, and provide practical guidance for nonprofit leaders and volunteers navigating campaign planning and fundraising.

Early praise for the book has come from respected leaders across the nonprofit sector:

“If an organization is serious about engaging its board as active partners in fundraising, this guide is one of the best resources available. It empowers board members to move from uncertainty and apprehension to understanding and action—and that can make all the difference in the success of a campaign.”

BIRGIT SMITH BURTON, Founder & CEO, African American Development Officers Network (AADO)

“After serving on countless nonprofit boards and capital campaign committees, I can say with confidence: this book is long overdue. Board members are often asked to help raise transformational gifts, yet few are ever taught how capital campaigns really work. Amy Eisenstein and Sarah Plimpton have filled that gap with a practical, engaging guide that demystifies the process and equips board members to make a real difference. If you’re serving on a campaign committee — or thinking about launching a campaign — read this book.”

JAY LOVE, Co-Founder, Bloomerang & eTapestry

A Board Member’s Guide to Capital Campaign Fundraising: How to Raise Game-Changing Money for Your Nonprofit is available now through Amazon (Kindle or paperback), and directly from Capital Campaign Pro.
