“Developing Your Case for Support”

The Community Action Partnership, Community Economic Development project and the California/Nevada Community Action Partnership (Cal/Neva) have formed a joint venture to bring you an exciting, educational webinar series on “Sustaining ARRA Programs”.

The Community Economic Development (CED) program area of the Partnership serves as clearinghouse for information and action that advances the field of community economic development. The California/Nevada Community Action Partnership (Cal/Neva) is the member Association of California and Nevada Community Action Agencies (CAA's) and other non-profit organizations that together serve over 4 million low income individuals each year. Together we will deliver an educational series that will enhance your knowledge funding sources, development plans and sustainability.

“Developing your Case for Support” is the first session in a series of 6 webinars to be hosted by Cal/Neva and the Partnership. Whether your organization is embarking on a capital campaign, preparing grant proposals or developing your annual fund materials, the Case for Support is the first critical element in your fundraising program. In this interactive workshop, we will learn the importance of the case and how it is used, list the key elements in a case for support, evaluate case statements and prepare an outline for your case statement.

In her seventeen years as a philanthropic consultant, she has managed capital campaigns; helped dozens of nonprofit organizations achieve their development goals, and has trained more than 16,000 professionals in Mexico, Canada, Egypt and most of the fifty United States, in all aspects of development.
