🚀 Nonprofit marketing and fundraising are evolving rapidly, and it’s clear that the old ways just aren’t cutting it anymore. Traditional digital marketing is turning into brand spam—damaging trust and merely capturing existing demand. This shift is why I’m such a strong advocate for community-first marketing. 🤝 In today’s nonprofit landscape, community-first marketing is the key to thriving. Love this new take on marketing within the sector and hope to research and implement some these ideas. #NonprofitMarketing #CommunityFirst #Fundraising #Impact --- Feel free to tweak this as needed to match your voice and style!

How nonprofits market and fundraise is changing… and it’s changing fast. Supporters crave a new way to connect. 🗣️ Because traditional digital marketing is dying… It's become brand spam, eroding trust, and capturing only existing demand. That's why I'm such a big advocate for community-first marketing. 🤝 It’s a fresh approach that puts your supporters at the heart of everything. It’s about creating a vibrant community of supporters who share and amplify your mission. Here’s why it works: 1️⃣ Meaningful Interactions: Build real connections, not just transactions. 2️⃣ Creating Demand: Don’t just capture interest—spark it. 3️⃣ Values Strengthened: Combat the generosity crisis by infusing your org’s values into the ethos of your digital community. When you put your community at the center of your efforts, your impact grows as your community grows. It’s the key to thriving in today’s nonprofit world. 🌍

Inspiration of the Week: WHERE: Community Boost's Nonprofit Marketing Summit WHAT: Audience member asked if they could volunteer w/Dion's Chicago Dream - a nonprofit org fighting food insecurity in Chicago. THE TWIST: Dion tells us they don't HAVE volunteer roles - their positions are paid. (Even if it's small - $50 still buys groceries that $0 doesn't.) He goes on "𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧." WHY: Social impact isn't just about what our organizations do; it's about HOW we do it. Dion's Chicago Dream thinks bigger - their impact is not just getting food to people. They also create impact by going upstream to address root causes of food insecurity and deciding as an org to get more people PAID. When we run impact organizations just like everyone else, we leave impact on the table. Groups like Dion's remind us more is possible. Thank you Community Boost + Dion Dawson for some solid (no pun) food for thought. #SocialImpact #CSR #SocialInnovation #SocialEntrepreneursip #FoodInsecurity #JobCreation #NonprofitInnovation
