The Case for your Cause: A guide to writing a Case for Support that hits all the right notes

The Case for Support is the fundraiser's most important document. As a lawyer presents a thought-through, strategic case to a judge and jury, a fundraiser makes a case for the cause to their donors. This guide takes the reader by the hand and walks them into the fascinating realm of the Case for Support. It examines what a Case is and who needs one. It looks at the process of making the document and offers advice on messaging, storytelling, and writing. It is for Case writers and for those who use the Case as a tool in their profession. The author offers a career's worth of Case-focused experience and formal learning and presents them in an approachable but tight and minimalist format."Febe Voth has written something unique and distinct from other books on writing for fundraising...Be prepared to give this book your full attention, and for the likelihood that you will want to read it, then re-read it to receive the full value of its guidance."
