Nonprofits are getting clobbered.
Federal and state budget cuts and the whipsaw of partisan politics, on top of massive shifts caused by COVID and AI and automation, are forcing nonprofits to juggle more demands, fewer resources, and constant pressure to change how they work.
I can help.
I’ve steered nonprofits through crisis, from a major medical device recall to a college closure.
I’ve raised every kind of dollar - grants, gifts, and corporate support - to the tune of $20 million.
I’ve messaged complex change, including a $100 million nonprofit to for-profit acquisition.
When teams have lost leaders, I’ve stepped in as an interim communications director to keep the work moving.
You need a sharper competitive edge.
Faced with fierce battles for money and talent, smart organizations are taking a fresh look at their unique value and impact. I’ve helped nonprofits and government clients create data-backed value and impact statements and turn them into web copy and fundraising materials that win.
You need to raise money.
Billions of federal and state dollars to nonprofits are now cut, frozen, or shrouded in uncertainty. I help you raise money by conducting assessments, building the strategies, and producing case statements, proposals, grants and other materials that bring in the money that fuels your mission.
You’re down staff.
More with less is the new mantra for nonprofits and government organizations. If you’re faced with a smaller marcomm team and a tighter budget, I’ve got you. I can assess the top priorities and the resources to support your team – or fill in as your fractional comms leader.
You’re in a crisis
Layoffs, program closures, leadership departures. I provide crisis communications advice, planning, messaging, and materials to prepare your teams, build trust, and move forward with clarity, compassion, and shared purpose.
You’re launching something BIG.
Crisis breeds opportunity. New nonprofits are forming, and existing nonprofits are retooling with new programs, facilities, and events that drive them forward. I develop campaign strategies and content that reach the right people - and move them to action.
