Feel like you're always running after grants with limited time and a lot of requirements? Tiffany Thibodeau shares how to approach grants in a better way. "Enter the Grant Research & Funding Strategy, your roadmap to guide the grant opportunities you will pursue for the year. By implementing a strategy and preparing the associated deliverables, your organization can be thoughtful about where you invest your time, energy, and resources to apply for grants that are well-aligned to your program or project. The goal here is a return on investment, so focus on grants your organization has a strong chance of winning and ticks all the boxes for aligning with your mission, funding needs, and grant management scope." #nonprofit #nonprofitresources #grants

😎 Is it just us or does it feel like The Summer of the Communications Audit?   We've been plugging away with so many of our partners who want to make sure that they're being as strategic as possible and maximizing their resources. Comms audits let us pull back the curtains to make sure each and every tactic our partners are pursuing are truly giving them the ROI they want.   That's why we start every audit with three essential questions.   >> 1. Is your messaging clear and easy-to-understand?   People need to easily understand what you do – and why it matters – to be compelled to take action, think or feel differently.   After reading your key messaging, a reader should be able to understand why your work is critical – and even what specific action they should take, from making a donation to writing to their local city council.   >> 2. Are your communications materials consistent?   We see this all the time. A #nonprofit or #foundation may have one set of messaging on their homepage, then a different, outdated mission on their Instagram page, and branding that doesn’t match…well, anything, on their annual report.   This can hurt the trust you have with your most important audiences. And, it makes harder for your most important audiences to clearly understand why your work matters so much.   ✅ During a communications audit, we like to check for consistency across : - Messaging, including taglines, mission and key calls to action - Logo - Colors - Fonts - Overall look & feel   >> 3. Are you focused on the tactics that lead to the most ROI? Are you on TikTok when maybe you could be better reaching your most important audiences right here on LinkedIn?!   During a communications audit, we look at the 📊 stats to decide what to focus our energy on. Think impressions, clicks, HotJar data that maps where people are focusing their eyes on a website.   Choose your most successful strategies, cut the rest, and prepare to feel like you can put your whole brain towards communications that WORK.   #communications #advocacy #messaging
