Making the Case
Friday, March 13
8:30 to 11:30 am
Case -- the reasons why an organization both needs and merits philanthropic support, usually by outlining the organization's programs, current needs and plans.
Case Statement -- a presentation that sets forth a case.
The Case Statement is an important first step for any successful fundraising effort. An internal document that effectively and succinctly shares the "story" of your organization, it can be used to:
- Establish agreement inside the organization
- Help enlist leadership
- Provide information backdrop for developing fundraising and marketing materials, including proposals, websites and brochures
- Create basis for institutional evaluation, priority setting, and decision-making
Instructor Gary Libman will lead participants in learning how to make your case for support by communicating the most important elements of your organization. This workshop will introduce the purpose and benefits of the case statement and give participants an opportunity to develop their own case statements using new and existing information. Class size will be limited to allow optimal participation.
This workshop will also be offered on April 10th, 2009.

Survive and Thrive in the Small Shop:
Outwit the Overload!
Friday, March 20
8:30 to 11:00 a.m.
The Challenge: You don't have enough time or staff to do what is expected. Feeling overwhelmed? Wearing too many hats? How can you keep up with it all? This session will focus on your "reality" and look at the key components of organizing and managing the small development office. Learn what you need to know and what you need to let go and how to position your department within your nonprofit so that development is an organization priority.
The goal of this session is for development professionals and/or the executive directors to realize the diversity of demands on the persons doing development work and how they can manage them more efficiently and effectively.
This workshop is designed for development professionals with less than 5 years experience and/or executive directors of small nonprofits.
Instructor Linda Eisenthart will lead a lively and interactive workshop centered on a "survive and thrive" theme. Participants are asked to bring their strategic plans and use them in the session to create specific answers to the problems they are faced with. In addition, participants will be asked to fill out their "Personal Potential Profile," which helps them focus on what they bring to their positions and how they can improve their skills in development.
