Notes de l'éditeur
- Today we’ll prepare you to answer one of the most important questions in making your case for a donor or funder: Q #1 on your case handout.About me:
- Start with the end in mindEngage donors and funders
- Instructions: take notes. Listen for juicy details, things that made you feel something. We will come back to these conversation at the endAsk for examples
- Let’s start with the BIG PICTURE Why impact? The new future is here: Funders and donors want to know about outcomes and results. Individual donors: how am I making a difference? Foundations (today) so that they know what can be scaled up in a network. What kind of change are you seeking? What level?United Way went from being a fundraising organization to a Catalyst for Community Change.What does impact mean for your organization?
- The BIG Question is #1 Refer to the Case Template and mention the handout on TOC. Why is this important? If we don’t know, any road will take us there and we won’t know what to measure.Being able to define our impact helps us identify how we will get to where we want to take our organization to create the change we want to see.Levels of change: Changes in awarenessChanges in knowledgeChanges in behaviorHelps us also know we are utilizing our resources effectivelyLeads to a theory of change: the relationship between actions and hoped-for-results.
- These pictures represent the motivating why. Don’t mistake the what for the why!How will our worlds be different? Refer to vision and mission handout.It’s always about the why http://youtu.be/kUA46pvQQrsMaryan Boess
- People want to help you make a difference because they have the same dreams, asipirations and hope for changes in their heart as you do. Telling your story in an accessible, concise way is how you connect with them. They will remember how they feel whent they give to you if you conncet with their dreams, aspirations, hopes. An ounce of hope is worth a ton of desparation.What does your org. aspire to? What dreams do you have? What difference do you want to make? What changes do you want to see?How will the people, community, world be changed as a result of your work?We do this, so that this will happen. We want to define in our case, what the “this” is.
- It starts with alignment of mission, vision, values with all programs and operations to deliver real value to the communityThe work we do gives others hope that the world will be different because we exist.Kowing this will help you answer the second question: what makes you unique as an organization? A key element to communicate (Q #2 on your case.)

Look at the Treehouse case.STOP here and explain elevator speech/tagline.Frame your data with stories.Set your organization apart with a great tagline and elevator speech.
