Does your organization have a Case for Support or a Case for Giving? Armstrong McGuire assists nonprofits with the creation of these important fundraising tools every day. A case for support is a must for a capital campaign, a major gifts campaign, an endowment campaign and for your ongoing annual giving opportunities. Developing, refining and sharing of your case for support is an important piece of any resource development plan.
Recently I spent the day facilitating a strategic planning session with a foundation board. As is my custom, I brought buckets of balls and toys which may seem frivolous, but actually they are an integral part of the day. The playthings are key ingredients in keeping everyone focused and in helping the group hold themselves accountable to the ground rules. And, they are just plain fun. Invite me to your next strategic planning session and I will show you what I mean!
Speaking out about unjust conditions – to friends, family, on social media – is the American way. Pointing to unfair treatment of individuals, groups, communities, or the environment is an important part of being civically engaged. As a nonprofit leader there is an added obligation to not just speak out, but to advocate and effect change in policy and systems.
As the new executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, I am grateful to have the opportunity to be part of an institution that has been committed to supporting charitable works in North Carolina for 80 years. Today, the Foundation invests in nonprofit organizations that are working to improve public education, preserve and protect the environment, promote economic opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds, engage more individuals in the democratic process, and elevate the dignity of all.
