Improving Your Organization's Website

An effective web presence is essential to communicating your organization's message and obtaining the necessary support. But telling your story is different on the web than in printed materials. We specialize in transforming your message so that it can work effectively for your organization 24/7. Depending on your needs, we can help you in the following ways:

• Evaluate the effectiveness of your website and suggest changes
  

• Revise the content of your site to tell your story more effectively and make it easier for clients and supporters to find you
  

• Help create ways your website can be used to improve communication with constituents
  

Getting the Word Out through Newsletters and Blogs

Not-for-profit organizations have relied on print materials such as newsletters and direct mail to stay in touch with supporters and clients. If your organization hasn't done so, now is the time to move much of this effort to the Internet. In addition, we recommend that organizations consider creating a blog to keep constituents abreast of good information about your cause. We can

• Create newsletter articles relating your organization's successful events, achievements, and plans
  

• Research and write lively and interesting blog posts that keep your constituents up to date on the wider picture
  

Solicitations for Support/Grant Research and Writing

We can help with soliciting financial support for your organization. Based on our experience with academic and other not-for-profit groups, we can provide the following services:

• Draft email and direct mail letters soliciting support
  

• Research and identify appropriate sources of possible funding
  

• Research and write compelling grant proposals
  

• Write and submit required reports to existing funding sources as needed
