Are you looking to build a bigger and better fundraising program at your nonprofit?
Do you wish you had a clear plan for the strategies and tactics you need to use to raise more money and thrive?
Would you like to have a compelling case for support that explains your mission to donors in a way that makes them want to give?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” then I invite you to join me learn how to write Your Fundraising Plan & Case for Support.
Why Are Your Fundraising Plan and Case for Support So Important?
Your plan and your case statement are two of the most important items you will ever create for your organization. Your fundraising plan maps out your development strategy for the next one, two, three or more years…and sets the direction your development program will take as you raise the money you need to thrive.
Your case for support/case statement paints an emotionally compelling picture for your donors. Your nonprofit should rely on your case statement as the basis for all of your fundraising communications, using language and messaging drawn straight from the case to convince your donors to give more money, more often, to support your mission.
Use this class to write a plan and case statement that produces exceptional results for your nonprofit.
