Case Statements

Everyone loves a good story. In a world where we are inundated with information, no matter how important that information might be, sheer volume makes us numb to it. But stories are different. Our brains are wired for story. We live for stories that celebrate the fundamental elements of our humanity: connection, compassion, curiosity, and creativity.

A good case statement encompasses all four. Connection to other people is a fundamental human need woven into our DNA. You bring meaning to the lives of your donors and volunteers by connecting them with the clients you serve through your work. Compassion is one of our greatest human motivators. Engaging our natural compassion for those in need opens the door to a satisfying investment of time and resources. Stories that spark our curiosity and appeal to our creativity are the ones that grab our attention and earn our support.

There is no better tool than a visually engaging, prepared case statement to share your vision, describe your work, showcase outcomes, and tell your story to your constituents. A case statement is a written document that records and communicates key information about your organization, but that’s not the most important thing it does.

The most vital role of a case statement is encapsulating your multifaceted organization in a few short pages through stories, pictures, and snippets of data. Carefully curated information in the form of testimonials, statistics, current programs, and history paints the picture of your nonprofit’s purpose, work, and accomplishments.

At 360 Advisors, our expert consultants will assist you in preparing a top-notch case statement that tells your story in an engaging and professional format to distribute to potential and current donors, board members, partner agencies, and anyone else who asks what your nonprofit is all about. Through interviews and specifically tailored questionnaires, will walk you through the multi-step process of establishing your history and vision, distilling key information, streamlining testimonials, gathering statistics, arranging graphics, and presenting it all in an enticing document. Case statements can be any length that suits your organization’s needs, and are ready to print as hard copies, or be distributed digitally.
