About
New nonprofits often think of it’s easy to have communications and marketing take a back seat to program activities and service delivery. But, you can’t deliver any services without communicating effectively. A nonprofit’s communication strategy is vital to an organization’s success as it’s the vehicle for sharing a broader message with the world.
Join us for a rich discussion in which our panel of communications experts will give you the tools and lay out next steps to start telling your organization’s story. Our panel will offer insight into:
- how to create a strategic communications plan that will help you reach your organizational goals;
- how to develop a nonprofit’s message, brand, and identity;
- how storytelling makes the difference between dry content few people engage with, and engaging content that contributes to your organization’s bottom-line and goals;
- how to use the wide array of tools and channels available to tell your story, including social media, public relations, petition activity, and publications; and
- how your new nonprofit can generate a communications budget and fundraise to make it grow.
