Case for Support Development


Clarify Your Message - Inspire Donors to Get Involved


A strong Case for Support is one of the most valuable fundraising tools your organization can have. It gives donors a clear, compelling reason to invest in your mission — and ties your vision, impact, and goals together in a way that inspires confidence and motivates giving. But writing a truly effective case takes time, clarity, and expertise. That’s where we come in.

This Project Package provides you with a polished, professionally written and designed Case for Support that reflects the heart of your work and speaks directly to your donors. We’ll guide you through a simple, supportive process to uncover your strongest messages, shape them into a donor-centered narrative, and deliver a finished piece you can put to use immediately.

By the end, you’ll walk away with messaging you can reuse across your development efforts — from campaigns and appeals to grant applications and donor conversations — all grounded in a clear, confident, and compelling Case for Support.

- How is this different from hiring a traditional consulting firm?

We built Hometown Philanthropy to give smaller nonprofits high-level expertise without high-level fees.
Project Packages deliver focused, fast-turnaround support with clear deliverables.

Coaching programs deliver ongoing, affordable guidance and accountability to help you make steady progress.
No long-term contracts. No inflated prices. Just accessible, practical support when you need it.

- How long does it take?

  • Project Packages: Most are completed in 3–4 weeks, depending on the package and your team’s response time. You’ll receive a clear timeline during your kickoff call.

  • Coaching Programs: Sessions happen monthly or weekly depending on the program you choose, with steady support in between.

- What if I have questions along the way? Is support provided?

Absolutely. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact who will keep you informed and engaged throughout your engagement.

Otherwise, we aim to respond to emails and messages within 24 hours. We are here to help!

- What if I need more help after the project or coaching cycle ends?

We’re still here for you. You can continue coaching month-to-month, schedule additional strategy sessions, or book another Project Package. Many clients blend coaching and project support over time as their needs evolve.

Just reach out — we’re always happy to continue the partnership.

- But what if...

We get it — no two nonprofits operate the same way. Budgets, timelines, and fiscal year restrictions all vary.

If you need to split payments, adjust your start date, or work around internal timing, just let us know and we'll work with you to find an approach that fits.
