As a fundraiser or nonprofit leader, you’re probably responsible for bringing home the bacon at your organization. But with zillions of media outlets, and over 1.5 million nonprofits in the U.S., how do you communicate through all the clutter – so people get to know you, care about what you do, and eventually become donors?

Strong branding and marketing can help. When done successfully, it can help your non-profit build emotional attachment within the community and attract the support you need. But it must be done in conjunction with your fundraising goals.
