Today is Beth’s 50th birthday (yay!) and to celebrate, she decided to make a special episode involving the whole community. She wanted to know: “If you got a grant for marketing, what would you do first, and how would it make a difference in your capacity to do your work?” So she set out to get 50 responses from all different nonprofits and organizations to find out the answer. As the answers poured in, a theme emerged: a clear understanding among nonprofit marketers that you need both a strategy and execution.
She explores how a grant would help in areas like:
- Branding
- Research and strategy
- Increasing awareness about your nonprofit
- Marketing collateral
- Storytelling and audience reach
- Video/visual stories
- Website building
- Social content
- And more!
