CALIFORNIA FUNDRAISING

“Not many people understand the complexity of raising money statewide in California. Anne and her staff at Capital Campaigns put together a remarkable fundraising plan, executed it with perfection, and raised more money for the California Victory 2000 campaign than anyone had expected.” -Jim Brulte, Former State Senator, Current Chair, California Republican Party

Simply, there is no other fundraising company in the United States that combines this level of talent, experience and knowledge. Our team has not only represented a majority of all Republican campaigns for President in the last 35 years but also state and local races in over 30 states in America.

Our focus is to work with candidates at all levels along with their respective staffs to raise the bar on the most important and crucial part of electing strong leaders—fundraising!

“With more than 40 years experience at National and State levels, the first tactical move I make is to recruit Anne and her team. She is my number one draft choice. She has 35-plus years in the political business and has compiled the best team anywhere. Any campaign she's involved with has a winning edge.”

-Ed Rollins, Campaign Manager, Ronald Reagan for President Former White House Political Director, Political Strategist and News Commentator

As the largest political donor state in the country, California is an important part of any national fundraising effort. Capital Campaigns has played a vital role in raising unprecedented funds in California for presidential campaigns, national committees, statewide campaigns, initiatives and targeted Gubernatorial and U.S. Senate campaigns across the country.

California’s Republican donors know and trust the work of the Capital Campaigns team. Candidates are afforded the opportunity to reach a broad range of donors throughout the state, as well as extending a footprint across the western United States.

Capital Campaigns’ fundraising efforts allow re-election candidates to utilize time away from the capitol and their constituents effectively and efficiently, while new candidates are offered the ability to raise not only their profile, but the campaign funds necessary to win their race.

Her staff was professional and methodical in im-plementing her systems for ticketing, seating, scheduling and tracking contri-butions. This made the finance side of a historic four-day series of events run smoothly and successfully.”

“Just to recap, I think that you first suggested, and then produced and pulled off an event which took a lovely yet provincial local broadcaster, to a media force in the second largest market in America while you raised money, wrangled rock stars, got a divorce, listened politely to my insane ideas, and emptied the pockets of every donor south of Fresno. Yes, that's exactly what you did and I expect you to use that quote in your promotional material from now on. You don't have to apologize for being crabby …” - Don Hahn, Producer, Disney (Including Lion King, Beauty and The Beast, Maleficent), Board Member, PBS SoCaL

Anne Dunsmore was brought into the PBS SoCaL family to assist their move into what is now the second largest PBS affiliate in the country, representing six southern California counties and almost 16 million viewers.

When the Muhammad Ali Center decided to launch a west coast effort to build their Center for Peacemaking and Conflict Resolution in Louisville, Kentucky, it was Anne Dunsmore who urged them to have a dinner honoring Ali with the proceeds going to the Center. Over $3 million was raised and 1,000 people were introduced to the champ’s efforts.

The reception took place at the Napa Rose Restaurant at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort and Spa. All of the players and coaches were able to attend the reception, which raised nearly $100,000 for the team. In Beijing, USA Men’s Volleyball beat the Brazilian team in 4 sets to win the Gold Medal.

“In 1996, someone suggested to us that we hire Anne Dunsmore and Capital Campaigns to consult with us on our $1.2 billion capital campaign. After a year of consulting, we asked Anne to take on all the responsibilities of Director for Development for Medical Sciences as a consultant. We were at 50% staffing and we had a chal-lenging job ahead of us, but within six months Anne had retooled the entire depart-ment, developed marketing materials, suc-cessfully addressed staffing issues, and dur-ing the first year increased fundraising re-sults by over 20%. While Anne is involved in a number of other significant projects with other clients, she always makes you feel like you are her only client. Also, her other activities serve us well because it adds a new dimension and fresh thinking to everything we do.”

-GERALD LEVEY, M.D.

Capital Campaigns was asked by UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television to assist them in restructuring their capital campaigns. They are the only major university in the world where the close relationship of theater, film and television is formally recognized.

“I asked Anne to energize and ex-pand the team that had successfully produced the event in previous years. In less than a few months, the team was in place, new Chair-men were recruited and entertain-ment was scheduled. Most impor-tantly, we have a critical element of our fundraising program – ‘The New Millennium Ball’ - on the cal-endar raising significant dollars for research and scholarship pro-grams.”

-GERALD LEVEY, M.D.

For four years, Capital Campaigns has managed the annual New Millennium Ball from conceptual phase to post-event fo l low-up .

“Anne runs a tight ship. From getting out your corporate packets, lead letters, mailing every invite and follow–up. She is incredibly competent, thorough and professional.”

-Bob Saget, Actor and Producer

“Anne Dunsmore and her staff at capital campaigns bring passion and profession-alism to work. Clients and their causes will always be the beneficiaries of the greatest fundraising team ever assembled outside of the ring. Anne pulls out all the stops to make each event a major success.”

- Lonnie Ali, Chair, Muhammad Ali Foundation

"I keep a closer eye on California politics than anyone I know -- and I always take a candidate more seriously when I hear they have Capital Campaigns doing their fundraising. The reason is simple -- they're the best in the business."

-Jon Fleischman, Founder and Publisher, Flashreport.org

“She can handle anything you can’t handle and anything you can handle – she can handle it better!”

"Capital Campaigns offers a level of talent and professionalism rarely seen in the political arena.”

-Raul Damas, Former White House Regional Political Director

“Anne Dunsmore and Capital Campaigns brought together and managed an amazing team of professionals from day one of our Presidential effort. Beginning with the Exploratory Committee phase, I took great comfort in knowing that I had someone reliable that could execute an event or fulfill a financial need—whether it was with 24-hour notice, two weeks or two months—it happened on time and on budget.”

-Jack Oliver, National Finance Vice Chairman Bush/Cheney ‘00 and ‘04, Republican National Committee

“The bad news is you get hooked into being involved with a charitable event. The good news is it’s Anne Dunsmore who calls. Dealing with Anne was dealing with a true professional. The questions were real and so were the answers. I’d do it again.”

-David Steinberg, Co-Producer, Roast This! Manager, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams

TO: Anne Hyde Dunsmore RE: Post-Event Depression “Just to recap, I think that you first suggested, and then produced and pulled off an event which took a lovely yet provincial local broadcaster, to a media force in the second largest market in America while you raised money, wrangled rock stars, got a divorce, listened politely to my insane ideas, and emptied the pockets of every donor south of Fresno. Yes, that's exactly what you did and I expect you to use that quote in your promotional material from now on. You don't have to apologize for being crabby …”

- Don Hahn, Producer, Disney (Including Lion King, Beauty and The Beast, Maleficent)
