If you want to raise money, you need a written Case for Support. It is that simple. The Case for Support is one of the first things you should do when you form your organization. Without one, you won’t be able to raise funds needed to meet your cause’s mission. It is that critical for any fundraising plan.
This recorded webinar will help you craft a powerful and persuasive Case for Support that will help your fundraising raise, even more, contributed income by pulling your stakeholders together and calling them to take action urgently. You'll learn one of the most important fundraising skills from this fundraising for nonprofits course.
We spend countless hours creating a fundraising plan, crafting donor communication pieces ranging from direct mail appeals, to website copy, to major gift brochures, but rarely do we ever sit down and carefully craft our messaging that outlines to a donor why we need their donations. Far too many organizations lack a Case for Support or have one that is out-of-date or lackluster.
A Case for Support is the foundational document for all of your fundraising efforts both capital and annual. It outlines the how and why behind your need for philanthropic contributions, as well as what makes you so unique and your cause so urgent. With one, you can watch your organization’s revenue skyrocket because of urgent donor calls to action based on messaging that resonates with their values.
Imagine…
During this 90-minute recorded webinar, you will get all of the tools and step-by-step instructions needed to create a compelling Case for Support.
A good Case for Support, used across your whole fundraising program, ensures that everyone - from the Chair of your Board to the person who answers the phone - is clear about the organization’s messaging. It calls donors to action and shows them why they should care so that they can make a real difference about issues that matter to them.

What Attendees Said about This Nonprofit Webinar:
“This is a great overview of the "why, what, and how" of a case for support for people who are relatively new to fund development and marketing/communications.”
Brian Edwards, Partners in Schools
"How to Create a Powerful Case for Support" is one of the best webinars I have ever seen. Robin Cabral has so much information and provided clarity on the entire process of writing a Case for Support. I'm shocked that so many non-profits don't have a written Case for Support. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge!”
Katie Keith, Zephyr Point Presbyterian Conference Center
“I really needed to refresh my learning ahead of working on my organization's case for support annual review, and I found this session extremely helpful. I have become "unstuck" and my head is now brimming with ideas and next steps. I stopped attending webinars for some time, because I wasn't finding them useful nor was I learning much. This webinar has renewed my faith. Thank you!”
