Small nonprofits are often way behind the curve when it comes to marketing and public relations.

To cast a wider net, it’s time for these organizations to prioritize communications. Nonprofits can break free from being the best-kept secret and receive the recognition they truly deserve.

Broken moments often reveal purpose. My daughter’s PANDAS/PANS diagnosis inspired my advocacy, just as others turn personal pain into action. These cracks let in light, sparking hope and change for us and our communities.

In nonprofit fundraising, storytelling is everything. But here’s the twist: it’s not your organization that should be the hero—your donor is the real champion of your story. When you make them the protagonist, your appeals become more personal, powerful, and impactful.

➔ Timeless Impact
➔ Emotional Resonance
➔ Longevity and Visibility

➔ Cost-Effectiveness

Do you think there is still value in direct mail? 👇

When Giving Feels Like a No-Brainer

The other day, a notification popped up in my Facebook feed: a friend was running a fundraiser for their charity. Without hesitation, I donated.

Why? Fundraising thrives on relationships. Trust in the person behind the cause often makes all the difference.

When it comes to nonprofit fundraising, the adage “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” rings true.

Donor retention—building strong relationships with supporters—is more impactful than seeking new donors. When needed, word-of-mouth referrals from engaged donors can be transformative.

One of the most impactful ways to nurture relationships and drive growth in your nonprofit is by cultivating a culture of gratitude. A simple yet powerful principle to follow is this: thank at least twice as often as you ask. Make gratitude a cornerstone of your communication strategy.

In the world of nonprofits, we give so much of ourselves to making an impact—supporting causes, helping communities, and changing lives.

But self-care fuels your ability to care for others.

Take time to recharge, celebrate your efforts, and remember that your well-being matters too.

Older generations may contribute larger average donation amounts, but Gen Z donates more often. While Gen Z may have less financial capacity, their frequent contributions and commitment to causes are no less significant. Their giving is just different. www.vivastrategic.com/blog/genz-gi...

In the nonprofit world, fundraising is more than just about donations – it’s about building a community of passionate individuals who feel deeply connected to your cause. When donors feel like partners, their support becomes more than financial—it turns into lasting advocacy and engagement.

In the nonprofit world, it's easy to focus on numbers: dollars raised, social media followers, or event attendance. But true growth goes beyond these metrics—it’s about the lives you touch and the communities you strengthen. 💙
