Case for Support

Our organization would like to work with a volunteer to craft a Case for Support. 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 & stewardship.

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

Logistics Notes:

-Only applicants who meet the outlined criteria and can commit to a minimum of 4+ hours per week will be considered. To streamline the application process, please ensure your profile includes a LinkedIn link.

-Please note that candidates actively seeking CPT/Internships or OPT are ineligible for this particular volunteer position.

The Case for Support project will strengthen our ability to share our mission clearly, inspire donors, and secure resources that expand access, advocacy, and care for patients with complex diseases.

The volunteer would 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.
