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!

I’ve been staying up a little later than usual the past couple of weeks. Every two years, the Olympics take over my television. Since the timezone in Rio is an hour ahead of us, all the finale’s and best moments are being shown up to, and sometimes past midnight.
Whether you’re ready to expand your organizational capacity and move forward with purpose, or just want to talk shop, we’d love to connect.
