Writing a Case for Support
Fundraising building blocks for small nonprofits
Before you write a fundraising plan
Before you launch your next campaign
What is the first thing that needs to be in place for fundraising that is successful today and in the future?
👉👉 A Case for Support
Don't worry if you have never heard these words, because the case for support is something that most people don't even THINK of. The great thing is, if you do put some time and thought into your Case, there are some amazing things you can do.
The Case will serve the needs of board members, volunteers, staff, donors -- EVERY person in your network who cares about the cause and wants your nonprofit to succeed.
And (maybe most importantly), the Case will help you raise money!
