1 Start Writing Your Case Statement Focus on the Annual Fund! Workbook & Reference Guide Fred Maglione, JD, CFRE Chief Executive Officer
2 Key Definitions & Concepts Case: A case is the general argument about why your foundation deserves gift support. The case is bigger than the organization and relates generally to a cause. In effect, the case is an accumulation of information about the organization, its cause and how it serves that cause. Cause: The cause is the set of interests your foundation is attempting to serve. It is the societal need that the combined efforts the fraternity/sorority and the foundation are trying to meet. Case Statement: At different times and for different people, appropriate parts of the case can be selected and used to present a specific argument about why the institution deserves financial support to do its work now and in the future. The case statement is such an argument. It is a specific illustration of some of the elements making up the full case. Although the case is typically made up of numerous reasons why your organization deserves support, not every single reason is necessarily included in each case statement. A case statement focuses on or highlights critical factors important under certain circumstances in arguing for gift support. Case Expression: A case expression is a specific publication or communication that contains a case statement. Examples include a campaign brochure, a proposal to a potential donor, a direct mail appeal, a magazine article, a Facebook post or any other communication that presents the case for support and often asks for support. Important Factors to Keep in Mind Your foundation does not exist and should not ask for money because the fraternity or your students have needs. The foundation exists to solve problems and meet the needs of society. The approach to any case for support should always begin with the idea that the foundation must demonstrate the fundamental need in society that they are trying to meet and for annual fund purposes, the need to meet this year Reaching more members for the sake of reaching more members is not compelling to most alumni. Reaching more members to have a larger impact on more members and society as a whole is compelling if you can demonstrate that your organization has a positive impact. Today, more than ever, sophisticated donors demand transparency in all aspects of an organization's operations. Your organization should make a concerted effort to increase transparency about governance, finances and program impact. An annual fund case statement should emphasize why you need the donor to make a gift this year and every year Copyright OmegaFi. Page: 2

4 Information to Gather for Your Annual Fund Case Resource File As you develop your case for support, development staff should compile a resource file made up of the elements from and related to both your 501(c)(3) foundation and your related 501(c)(7) fraternity/sorority that are outlined below.
