The Council for Advancement and Support of Education is a professional association serving educational institutions and the advancement professionals who work on their behalf in alumni relations, communications, marketing and development.

CASE was founded in 1974 and maintains headquarters in Washington, D.C., USA. Acting on its mission to advance and support education worldwide, CASE officially opened a European office in London in 1994 and an Asia-Pacific office in Singapore in 2007.

Today, CASE's membership includes nearly 3,400 colleges and universities, primary and secondary independent and international schools, and nonprofit organizations in 59 countries around the globe. This makes CASE one of the world’s largest nonprofit educational associations in terms of institutional membership. We serve more than 61,000 advancement professionals on the staffs of our member institutions and have more than 21,000 professional members on our roster.

To fulfill their missions and to meet both individual and societal needs, colleges, universities and independent schools rely on—and therefore must foster—the good will, active involvement, informed advocacy and enduring support of alumni, donors, prospective students, parents, government officials, community leaders, corporate executives, foundation officers, and other external constituencies.

CASE helps its members build stronger relationships with all of these constituencies by providing relevant research, supporting growth in the profession and fostering support of education. CASE also offers a variety of advancement products and services, provides standards and an ethical framework for the profession, and works with other organizations to respond to public issues of concern while promoting the importance of education worldwide.
