Simply put, we understand the unique purpose and vital services of nonprofits and the communications challenges they face.
According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, there are over 1.4 million nonprofit organizations in the United States, and this figure doesn’t even include more than 377,000 congregations serving their communities. It stands to reason that with the existence and support of so many groups, we are a nation of givers when it comes to time, resources, and money. However, since there are so many nonprofits, and sometimes multiple organizations serve people with similar needs in the same geographic area, how do potential donors know who to give to? How do people needing help understand who to talk to or where to go?
Often the for-profit world becomes involved in their communities through social initiatives such as volunteering and corporate giving. In fact, Giving USA cited more than $13.6 billion in corporate and foundation gifts in 2005. These monies can provide the necessary catalyst to launch or maintain a specific program or help to fund an entire organization, helping to generate the right message for a wide variety of causes.
In today’s economic and social climate, nonprofit organizations must be able to effectively market themselves and communicate with their target audiences to increase awareness of their mission, secure necessary funding by engendering trust, and consistently deliver their services to those who need them most.
Often your messages compete in the same climate as the well-funded ones from the for-profit world. Solid communications should be accounted for in any fundraising budget. Fifth Letter can employ attention-getting and cost-effective solutions to help your organization get noticed.
