We get it. You don’t just “run your non-profit like a business” for a simple reason: it’s not a business. You wake up every day with the challenge of raising funds from one group of people, while providing essential services to a different group. But your messages need to be thoughtfully crafted and delivered for each. We love non-profits because we know them well. We have been in similar shoes, and we can help you along the way to achieving your mission.
