Case Statements

A donor-centered case statement is a vital tool in the fundraising process because it helps to inspire generous support. A case statement provides a comprehensive look at your mission, organization and a particular project, helping donors and the community understand why your organization is worthy of their financial support. We believe that the process by which you arrive at the case statement is of paramount importance.

"Marcella Schick helped us wrap up a capital campaign at one of our communities. She is excellent at making case statements and linking mission with campaign planning. She worked with our particular situation, put pieces in place and trained staff and volunteers to get the job done."
