Developing a Case for Support for a Nonprofit
Organization
We can help you research, draft and publish your case for
support.
WHAT IS THE "Case For Support?"
The Case for Support is basically a reference document in which the non-profit
organization places everything that can and must be said about the organization,
and the reasons why anyone would make contributions to its work. The
Case for Support, sometimes called the "case statement," is the basis,
then, for everything written and spoken about the organization to prospects,
donors, volunteers, friends and so forth.
We can do any one or all aspects of research and writing on your organization's
Case for Support.
We can assist as reviewers and editors.
We can also help publish the Case for Support when it has been completed.

This article discusses the various ways
to use a multi-media approach to getting the word out about your nonprofit's
work. Using a video, CD or DVD to communicate your case for support can be
more compelling and motivating for this new generation of donors than your
printed flyer and fundraising letter.
