I’m thrilled to be speaking at the 23rd Annual Keystone Nonprofit Conference (#KeyCon2024) hosted by The Nonprofit Partnership on October 29 and 30! On the first day, I’ll lead a four-hour intensive workshop on one of the most important aspects of nonprofit work: Messaging with Intention. We all know that nonprofit messaging isn’t just about getting the word out—it’s about telling the right story with purpose and connecting with people in a way that moves them to action. Together, we’ll dive deep into building authentic, intentional messaging strategies that resonate with your audience and truly reflect the impact of your mission. Nonprofits have the power to manage and conquer societal challenges. By uniting our voices, we can create a movement. I can’t wait to collaborate, share insights, and learn from all of you. If you’re attending, come say hi, and let’s discuss how we can create change, together! (TrailBlaze Creative will have a booth in the exhibit area) Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eP2-6zdW #KeyCon2024 #NonprofitLeadership #MessagingWithIntention #TrailBlazeCreative #UniteAndConquer

🚀 Unlocking the Power of Education to Drive Donor Engagement 🚀 Nonprofit organizations often face a unique challenge: how do you effectively communicate your mission while inspiring action? Recently, our team at House of Kaizen ran an experiment to tackle this question head-on. Here’s what we discovered: 👉 Educating donors drives results. By prioritizing messaging that explained the WHY behind contributions—rather than focusing solely on financial asks—we achieved: • 📈 Over 300% increase in visits to the donation page • 💳 23% increase in completed transactions • 💰 Higher average donation value Our approach validated that transparency and storytelling are critical. People are more likely to support an organization when they clearly understand its mission and how their contributions make an impact. Key takeaway: When you lead with value and educate your audience, the results speak for themselves. 💡 We’re excited to help other mission-driven organizations apply these insights to grow their impact. If this resonates with your goals, let’s connect! #NonprofitMarketing #DigitalStrategy #DonorEngagement #Experimentation #GrowthThroughEducation

You might have noticed I've been passionate about monthly donor programs lately. There's a good reason for that: ❗️They work❗️ Monthly giving programs provide sustainable, predictable income They allow you to plan and budget more effectively Donors who give monthly tend to stay engaged longer Robin Sharma says it best, "What you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell upon determines your destiny." So, I have a question for you: What if you decided to focus on growing your monthly donor program? Can you imagine the incredible impact your organization could make with a steady stream of support? I want nothing more than to help amazing nonprofits thrive and create lasting change. That's why I'm thrilled to invite you to my friend, Dana Snyder's upcoming Monthly Giving Summit!
