A Case Statement is a formal document used by organizations, particularly in the nonprofit sector, to articulate their mission, goals, and the need for support. It outlines the reasons why a project or initiative is important and how it will benefit the community or target audience. This document serves as a persuasive tool to engage potential donors, stakeholders, and volunteers. Typically, a Case Statement includes key elements such as the organization's history, specific objectives, and the impact of funding. It may also highlight success stories and testimonials to illustrate the effectiveness of the organization’s work, making it easier for supporters to understand the value of their contributions.
