Answers.Text: What snagged me, was that I ultimately wanted to capture data about both the nominator and the nominee and I didn't see a simple way to manage two separate contacts in a simple profile. I appreciate the insight. I'll look at both options when I move on to the next phase. I have to roll out the new site this week for stage 1.

Body: <p>Historically, I've used CiviCRM for events and member management. I've never used CiviCase, but I think this situation probably calls for CiviCase. Any insight will be helpful. </p>
  
  <p>In short, the client has asked for a form which allows a contact to nominate another individual to received funds from the organization relief fund. I want to record both the contact submitting the form and the eventual recipient and then the actions that client performs within their own workflow. I don't have that yet, because I was just handed a paper form to add to the system.</p>
  
  <p>Am I in the right ballpark, to use CiviCase instead of just posting a profile form to go to the association? Will CiviCase allow me to track the submitter and the recipient more easily? Any insight is much appreciated.</p>
