AFP Luncheon Meeting Thursday, April 1, 2010 12:00 noon - 2:00 p.m. Location: Quattro Pazzi at Oak Hills Park, Norwalk 165 Fillow Street, Norwalk, CT 203.855.1800 (Directions below)
Communicating the Case for Support in the New “Normal:” Balancing Urgency with Optimism As non-profit organizations face challenging decisions in light of budget constraints, prospects and loyal donors may ask: “Why should I support this organization when I am not confident that it will weather the economic storm?” It’s a fair question. In the current turbulent economic environment, when donors and prospects have become more guarded, it is important to focus on articulating a compelling, and perhaps adjusted, case for support. Now is the time to mitigate the “alarm factor” in favor of a more meaningful and confident approach. During this session, we will explore how some of the most successful non-profit organizations are positioning their case today. We will also look at tools and themes to consider with regard to message development, broad communication and individual prospect strategy.
