COMMUNICATIONS TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT & FUNDING

A collapsing pool of funding sources makes it vitally important for organizations to distinguish themselves as they fight for the resources they need. A communications campaign that dovetails with organizational benchmarks can provide crucial support in achieving development and funding goals in this competitive climate. SM& melds entrepreneurial thinking with extensive experience working with nonprofits to build the creative campaigns that successfully support development and funding. We tailor the tools - events, direct mail and media relations - to your needs.

SM& understands the value of both grassroots events to build support among stakeholders as well as stewardship events designed to build and cement the support of key donors. Complementary strategic media relations raises visibility and creates the opportunity to attract new partners. Direct mail is an integral aspect of fundraising, but SM& will help you take communication to the next level creating a complementary, strategic communications campaigning with policy makers and elected officials to win support at all levels. Measurement is important, and we will work with you to design metrics that will help you and your leadership team evaluate the success of the campaign.
