About this workshop:

Is your fundraising campaign and messaging built around a compelling case statement? Make the case and draw your donors in so they want to learn more! A well crafted case statement also helps in determining solid fundraising strategy. Learn about the components of a case statement and the process of crafting it: identifying your organization’s story, why your organization is uniquely successful in fulfilling its mission, and what donated funds accomplish for the community. Bring a brown bag lunch and copies of your existing case statement/fundraising messaging to work on during this hands-on facilitated discussion!
