Developing your Fundraising Case for Support

The importance to your organisation of a clear, concise and compelling Case for Support is vital to your success in securing donors and supporters. Simply put, telling a compelling story effectively, at the right time and to the right audience will have a huge impact on your ability to engage supporters and raise funds for your charity.  

The course will empower participants to develop an inspiring case for support that creates a uniform message about why they are important as a charity, how they make a difference and what people can do to support or get involved. 

Within this interactive course delegates prepare and deliver presentations to the rest of the group, help each other to deliver their organisation’s best-selling points and leave with their Case for Support structure in place, ready to complete when they return to their organisations.
