Case for Support and Fundraising Copywriting

The people who receive Cases for Support get dozens a year. My goal is to make yours the one that makes them think, okay, what’s going on here…. pulling them in with an unexpected approach and never letting go. The same applies to fundraising letters. When lack of resources is the problem, creativity is always the answer. There’s no reason why a local or fledgling charity or campaign can’t hit as hard a household name or even harder, because you’re less tied down by “we’ve always done it this way.” I hope. So while you may be looking for a freelance fundraising copywriter, why not consider a freelance copywriter who brings something entirely new to fundraising? And the results are there, over and over. These are sample pages: for the full pieces, just ask.
