Live–Learn–Innovate Philanthropic Campaign Consulting Services

Northeast Ohio Medical University is soliciting proposals to engage a consulting partner for its upcoming Live–Learn–Innovate philanthropic campaign, which aims to support a major campus expansion featuring approximately 147,000 square feet of new facilities dedicated to graduate student housing, academic space, and an innovation hub designed to foster student success, interdisciplinary collaboration, and research. The project, with an estimated cost of $80 million, relies heavily on philanthropic funding, and NEOMED is seeking expert guidance to determine the optimal campaign strategy—whether a focused capital campaign or a broader comprehensive campaign—through a two-phase engagement. Phase one will evaluate campaign feasibility, assess philanthropic potential, and measure institutional readiness to provide clear recommendations on the path forward. Phase two will deliver strategic counsel for planning, launching, and executing the selected campaign, ensuring alignment with the university’s long-term goals and maximizing fundraising effectiveness. Proposals must be submitted by August 11, 2026, with Nicole Meadows-Hale serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
