Making Your Case for Funding

There is a tendency to go from program development to submitting funding proposals to different foundations. We often overlook a critical step in between-developing a case statement.  The case statement helps organizational stakeholders develop a shared vision and commitment, and provides consistency as the organization develops proposals, articles, publication and other content. Join us for a lively discussion about develop ping case statements. We will discuss what they are, how they are used; the major components and some of the pitfalls to avoid. Valerie F.
