CASE’s New Global Reporting Standards and Benchmarking Resources
In March, CASE released the first edition of the CASE Global Reporting Standards. Since 1982 CASE’s counting rules have been the U.S. industry standard for reporting philanthropic support raised by colleges, universities, and affiliated foundations. The new edition introduces important changes that will enhance the transparency and comparability of reported data and provide more robust insights into the results of advancement activities. This session will provide an overview of key changes in the CASE Global Reporting Standards, a preview of new Core Metrics for advancement, new campaign surveys, and information on individualized benchmarking reports and other resources offered by AMAtlas, CASE’s global resource for advancement research, metrics, and analytics.
