Every nonprofit needs a compelling case statement, aka case for support. And true to its name, a nonprofit’s case statement is the foundation and basis for all funding pursuits. It is the core document of any fundraising campaign, especially for specific fundraising initiatives such as capital or endowment campaigns.
A case statement is a powerful first opportunity to tap into your future funders, convey your mission, your vision and what challenges may be holding you back. It is the top shot to make a case for support. It should be strong enough to achieve the goal of converting a potential donor into a loyal contributor to your organization. Left without a good hard look in our ever-changing times, even the most noble missions and stories can become lost with a weak and ineffective plea for support.
Is your case statement strong in this new era? Is it still relevant? Does it tell your story and tell it well?
