Your Fundraising Plan & Case for Support | The Basics & More!

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 for the next four weeks to learn how to write Your Fundraising Plan & Case for Support | The Basics & More!

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.

What’s in this Class?

Your Fundraising Plan & Case for Support | The Basics & More! will run from Monday, January 6th through Friday, January 31. This class runs completely online, and all materials will be delivered electronically. Even bonus webinars and podcasts are pre-recorded, so you can progress at your own pace and complete the materials on your own schedule.

Every Monday, you’ll receive (via email) comprehensive class guides covering that week’s topic. You can read the guides on your computer, smartphone, tablet or e-reader, or print them out to read at your convenience.

Each guide contains 7-10 pages and presents everything you need to know about how to write a successful fundraising plan and compelling case statement for your nonprofit.

“Breaking down the process into segments takes away the ‘overwhelm factor’ of a workshop or a webinar and guides you incrementally into achieving what you thought was impossible! You provided valuable insight into all angles of how to write a meaningful piece to insight reaction from donors. Great work!”
