Let’s Talk About Your Comms Strategy

Why Nonprofit Communications Teams Struggle

Many nonprofits face the same challenges when it comes to communications:
❌ Lack of internal structure—no clear roles or workflows
❌ Inconsistent messaging—struggles with branding & storytelling
❌ Inefficient use of time & resources—reactive instead of strategic

✅ This handbook will help you:

  • Design internal structures for a high-functioning comms team

  • Clarify your messaging & branding for stronger campaigns

  • Develop a long-term communications strategy (so you’re not always in reactive mode)

  • Know when to bring in outside support—and how to manage consultants effectively
