Every month, AFP WNC features opportunities for learning, professional growth, networking and peer recognition. For ten months out of the year, the monthly event is a learning and networking luncheon. During the other two months, we host major events. July is the time for our annual Philanthropy Institute, and in November the chapter hosts the National Philanthropy Day awards ceremony.

AFP WNC Chapter
June Luncheon Program

Create a Case Statement
Presenter:  Mark Goldstein

This month, learn how to create a Case Statement—the document that you should create before seeking funds for any significant project or campaign. Mark Goldstein, CEO of Communication Mark consulting, has helped nonprofits of all types and sizes write their Case Statements. He will explain what to include in a Case Statement, how to go about writing it and how to make it compelling. Case Statements help nonprofit organizations avoid what Mr. Goldstein calls the "fundraising death spiral—the tendency to fall into a mad rush between well-intentioned ideas and urgent fundraising deadlines—which can leave a trail of disenchanted fundraisers and poorly-conceived projects.

Mark Goldstein is President and CEO of Communication Mark consulting in Arden, NC. Mr. Goldstein is most sought after as an expert proposal writer and project strategist. He is the creator of the Open Communication Fundraising Model, a system that enables all nonprofit agency stakeholders to effectively work together toward organizational and fundraising goals. Mr. Goldstein has consistently served nonprofits as a staff member, board member or consultant since 1991. He has raised millions for his clients and employers by obtaining grants for organizations of all types, sizes and locales.
