Think back to your early days in advancement—your very first job, or a new role with a different team or on a different campus. What helped you find your footing? What helped you build the connections you’d need to thrive, or skills you’d need to excel?

If the answer for you was ties with mentors and peers, and rich learning opportunities, then there’s a way to pay that forward. 

In celebration of CASE’s 50th anniversary, we’ve launched our inaugural 50 & Forward | CASE Week of Giving—a week dedicated to uniting our global community in support of the future of advancement.

The Week of Giving will support the Future Fund, a philanthropic initiative dedicated to strengthening our profession through scholarships, talent development, capacity building, and harnessing emerging opportunities. 

Our 50th anniversary marks an incredible milestone, and there’s no better time to support CASE’s work. This is a golden opportunity to give and deepen our collective commitment to solidifying the future of our profession. 50 & Forward, from Nov. 26, 2024, to Dec. 3, 2024, commemorates the signing of CASE's articles of incorporation on Nov. 26, the start of its operations in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 2, and concludes on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3.

The Future Fund embodies a vision for the future—one where we diversify and empower advancement professionals to skillfully champion the value of education and its positive outcomes on society. Your support will:

• Have a “multiplier effect.” Philanthropic support for CASE goes well beyond an investment in a single institution. A gift to CASE is an investment in people who help power the institutions solving the world’s most pressing issues. By powering our movement, your support opens more people and communities to the transformative benefits of education.
• Provide opportunity. CASE is all about opportunities. Through giving to CASE, you’ll provide opportunity in many ways. Opportunities for emerging professionals to experience their first CASE program, opportunities for under-resourced institutions to access valuable learning resources, and opportunities for students around the world to fulfill their potential as CASE supports advancement professionals in securing millions of dollars for aid and student success.
• Honor your connections. A gift to CASE is a wonderful way to honor a special mentor or colleague who has impacted your career. It celebrates your relationship with CASE and acknowledges the person who introduced you to the organization, opened doors for you, or transformed your professional journey. It also serves as a tribute to the pivotal role CASE has played in your personal and professional development.
