A case for support should include your institution’s fundraising priorities, why they are important, and what they will create, if funded. It should be beautifully designed, engaging, and thoughtfully written. Here's how to do that.

The new documentary The Antidote spotlights Amarillo College and its efforts to break the cycle of poverty for its students. The institution’s leaders share their thoughts on the film and how it shows the impact of community colleges.

Last year saw transformative gifts given to certain community colleges (who no longer wistfully sing “If I Had a Million Dollars”). How can two-year institutions continue to illustrate return-on-investment value to increasingly savvy donors?

Advancement leaders from three community colleges share how they reorganized, strategized, and adapted in 2020 to continue to support the missions of their institutions.

To say the least, 2020 was an unpredictable year for community colleges. Let’s take stock of the challenges we met and the successes we achieved while looking forward to new opportunities in 2021.

Congratulations to Brenda Henderson, recipient of the Council for Resource Development Legacy Scholarship; thank you to the 2020 Federal Funding Task Force.

Sonbol Aliabadi, executive director of the Sierra College Foundation, discusses the passion and hard work necessary to assist community college students when they need it the most. 

The past year has highlighted advancement professionals' agility and innovation out of necessity. It has also brought to light areas where we must improve in order to be more inclusive and embracing of diversity. Like emotional intelligence, this doesn’t have a finish line: It is a continuous journey. What is not in question, ever, is our respect for our community.

The COVID-19 pandemic wrecked colleges’ most carefully laid plans for in-person events. What are the best questions to ask, and resources to rely on, as we all adapt to the moment and an uncertain future?

Advancement professionals at Delta College, Clark College, and Central Community College talk about the benefits of participating in CASE’s VSE and AEM surveys, including benchmarking against peers, maintaining an organized database, and proving your college’s success to leadership, lawmakers, and the community.
