CASE STATEMENT CHALLENGE

Special donors are offering a cash contribution to the charitable organization with the best Case Statement submitted prior to the "FUNDRAISING IN THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS" symposium on March 27th.

A Case Statement, also known as a Case for Support, is the essential first document for institutional fundraising readiness. The Case Statement tells the story of the need an organization meets – not the need to raise money – but the need that is met through services and programs.

Challenge participants must be 501(c)(3) organizations and must submit a copy of their Case Statement with a brief cover letter, contact information and proof of tax status to Public Interest Fundraising: kamblake@aol.com. Deadline is Friday, February 27, 2009.

Participants must be in attendance at the Symposium to secure the charitable donation.

If you need assistance or have questions, contact Kathy Miller at 847/227-7174.
