Keep stakeholders aligned with your core values

Tips:

Know what you’re reading.
Our Case Studies are in-depth examinations of a certain nonprofit tactic, project or trend. They detail a situation, show how an organization dealt with it and then provide big picture ideas on how this affects the non-profit world.

Big challenges and small.
Our case studies include everything from the success of individual fundraising projects to marketing studies and nonprofit trends. This is a wealth of knowledge and experience that you can and should take advantage of.

A great place to do homework.
Before you start a new marketing program or fundraising drive, look through our Case Studies to see what other nonprofits have done in your situation and even what mistakes have been made by organizations like yours. You may even find the answers you’re looking for.

Go ahead, take these out of context.
We're constantly compiling Case Studies from around the industry. You can use these existing Case Studies to augment your own understanding of the nonprofit industry and they provide examples and ideas that could be used by any nonprofit organization.

Good information is never too old.
Just because a Case Study is a few years old doesn't make the information less relevant. The habits, trends and tactics it references are still applicable today.
