Develop a Winning Case for Support

CFRE Badge 2024

About This Event

Starting:

Wed, May 17, 2023
In-Person

A nonprofit’s case for support tells your organization’s story in a compelling manner and articulates the reasons a donor should support your mission. A case for support is critical to distinguishing your organization from other nonprofits and for ensuring that your staff and board can consistently and clearly communicate your organization’s message.

After this two-part class led by Sara Leonard, MBA, CFRE, you will know how to:

  • Find the words that paint a compelling picture of your organization
  • Write a winning case for support
  • Develop case statements for individual programs/projects
  • Present your case for support to funders and other stakeholders
  • Engage board members and prospects in the development of your case

You will leave the first session with the skills and tools to begin drafting your organization’s case for support. Then, during the second session, you will have the opportunity to present your case to a group of experts and receive valuable feedback to sharpen your approach. At the conclusion of the series, you will have a well-developed draft of your case for support that will become invaluable in your fundraising efforts.

Who should attend

Professionals at all levels can benefit from this program — from executive directors, development directors and program staff to board members and volunteer managers —anyone responsible for securing resources for your organization and telling its story.

What to bring

To maximize your in-class experience, please bring your mission statement, existing case for support or case statements (even if they are out of date), and your creativity and enthusiasm.
