Guidestar/Candid Profile Package
Did you know that many financial advisors use Guidestar/Candid profiles as a research tool to find non-profit beneficiaries for their clients?
Any non-profit with a tax exemption already has a profile on Guidestar. We will help you gain platinum status! This will help donors know that your non-profit is worthy of their support.
BONUS: Many of the elements of your Guidestar profile make excellent grant application copy!
Package includes:
Mission-Focused Newsletters
An email newsletter has become even more important for nonprofits. Social media reach has become harder to gain – and is only one tool in your marketing toolbox. Donors want to know the impact of their donations – and a newsletter ensures that people hear about how their donations made a difference.
Effective newsletters include relevant research and links for your audience, and impact reports that show donors and community leaders that their investments are working.
It takes between 3-8 presentations of an opportunity to get people to “click” – sign up, share, donate, etc. So, you want content that can be used on social media or websites as well as in donor appeals.
Newsletter packages include:
-
An analysis of your audience
-
Philanthropic goals for the email newsletter
-
Key messages to reinforce
-
Multi-channel media opportunities
-
Video content ideas that match your capacity
-
Shocker statistics that reinforce the need for your work
Development Plan Package
Is your board hounding you about income targets?
You need a development plan, a fundraising blueprint for the year. It includes a list of the reasons donors will give, with an analysis of past income streams and a realistic forecast of relevant growth opportunities.
