Financial Feasibility

All RDG engagements begin with a Concept Audit, which includes a detailed financial feasibility utilizing RDG's goal-setting methodology. The Concept Audit is RDG's independent, objective assessment of your marketplace and specifically the potential to adequately fund your key economic development programs and initiatives. Each Concept Audit consists of 4 key components:

• Confidential Interviews of key current and potential stakeholders. Usually a pool of 40 to 75 private and public sector leaders will be included in this process.

• Targeted Focus Groups are often included as a supplement to the individual interviews to ensure appropriate geographic and economic balance and diversity.

• Philanthropic Foundation Screen to investigate possible non-traditional sources of revenue that may be available for specific programming.

• Financial Feasibility utilizing RDG's proven methodology for setting aggressive but attainable funding goals
