Case for Support Refinement for Capital Campaign

Our organization would like to work with a marketing professional to craft a Case for Support. A proposal has been developed with a majority of the necessary information (mission, vision, ask, budget, photos, etc), and we are looking for specialized support in refining the proposal.

Having a Case for Support is an essential step in effectively communicating our organization's mission, goals, and needs to potential donors, stakeholders, and supporters. A compelling case for support can inspire others to contribute financially or in other ways to help our nonprofit achieve its objectives.

We envision a marketing professional conducting some discovery to gain a deep understanding of our nonprofit's mission, vision, values, and goals and consider the impact our organization aims to make and the specific programs or initiatives we undertake to achieve that impact. The professional would then help us draft a Case for Support with respect to our target audiences (individual donors, foundations, corporations, or other potential supporters). The Case for Support should include sections addressing: the need, our solution, demonstrated impact, goals and strategies, financial needs, call to action, and recognition and stewardship.

This would include several rounds of review and feedback with the nonprofit leadership and any necessary training for using the Case for Support.

Our capital project is 85% funded for the main building through grants and donations we have already secured. The additional funding is needed to sign a contract with our contractor to begin construction on September 1st and stay on track with our grant requirements. This facility is the first of its kind in California and will be able to provide a blueprint for other counties in developing crisis-level services for our most vulnerable young people experiencing suicidal ideation.

The marketing professional will have regular access to our executive leadership, and relevant team members will be directed to allocate time to meet with the professional during the discovery process. We are also prepared to furnish the necessary financial data and current marketing collateral. We will also make sure that the professional has full access to all materials relating to how we deliver our programs. We can also make program beneficiaries available to interview with the professional if need be.
