The Case for Support

You know why the organisation you work for is important and deserves support, but its easy to fail to realise that for supporters it may just be one of several superficially similar organisations vying for their support.

A well written, compelling and persuasive Case for Support will give potential supporters the essential facts about your organisations need for their support in non-technical language and is a key tool for lay and professional fundraisers. Writing a Case for Support is a skilled exercise which not only requires identification of why the organisation needs support (it’s USP), but also insight into what motivates supporters to give.
