SERVICES > Case for Support Development
Objective: Developing customized proposals for private foundations can yield substantial results and generate additional gift income from within as well as from outside our communities. Putting together an overall presentation on our organization and specific case for support allows us to then focus those elements of the proposal in compliance with the needs and requests of a private foundation. This level of customization and experience of our firm is combined to maximize support from these types of organizations.
Elements of the Service
- Gathering background and current information on the organization, its mission, credentials and statistical data
- Compilation of facts about the specific project and the community healthcare needs it will meet
- Assembling all of the information about an organization and its fundraising project into a compelling "case for support"
- Customizing the case for support for each individual foundation request to ensure that it meets the timing, guidelines and restrictions that are stated
- Accompanying organization or foundation personnel on visits to foundation if part of the application process and appropriate to the situation
- Researching top foundation prospects
- Developing "frequently asked questions" and answers
Expected Outcome
A well constructed case for support will effectively increase results from private foundations. In addition, the case for support can also be effectively used for corporate and individual donors when there is a need to present a higher level of background and detail on an organization and its projects. This process of "doing our homework" has become more of a necessity in the competitive philanthropic environment.
