It was so great to be a part of the Nonprofit Congress event earlier this week. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you in person.

I work with nonprofit organizations on a daily basis to help them tell their stories and create public awareness and support. Over the course of the last 10 years of doing my work, I have learned first-hand how important marketing communications is to nonprofit organizations as they work to further their missions.

Therefore, it will not come as a surprise to you how pleased I was to see this important aspect voted a top priority at the Nonprofit Congress.

"Public Awareness and Support of the Sector: A priority of the nonprofit sector is to increase public understanding and support so that nonprofits can continue to do their best work."

The above “priority” underscores the reason why I founded Shoestring Creative Group seven years ago – and why we have expanded nationally this year.

 

In the spirit of the Nonprofit Congress and this top priority, I am offering the support of our firm to all state nonprofit associations. We are offering this in two ways (no “strings” attached, I promise):

 

1. If you would like PR assistance to get the word out about your state's involvement in the Nonprofit Congress, and your planned follow-up actions, Shoestring Creative Group will help craft or edit your release (if you want/need this assistance) as well as send your release out on our newswire service for no cost. To take us up on this free offer, please send us your press release by the end of the day Monday, Oct. 23 (timing is everything in PR after all). If possible, it would be very helpful to receive your release by the end of the working day today (email to admin@shoestringgroup.com). We will gladly send out your press release, and even send you reports on where your release is picked up and how many members of the media download it. 

 

2. To help in the effort to get the word out, we are offering our email newsletter service for free to all state nonprofit associations. To find out more about this, please contact me at hannah@shoestringgroup.com.

 

I look forward to staying in touch with all of you as Shoestring Creative Group helps to turn a top priority into a reality for the sector. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

 

Best wishes. Keep up the great work that you do!
