Promoting Your Nonprofit:
How Marketing Can Help You Succeed in Today's Economy

Recruiting volunteers, fundraising, building awareness, and delivering programs to key constituents are just a few of the challenges non-profits face on a daily basis. Today's tight economy makes things more complicated. With so many people facing financial crises, looking for jobs, and focused on their own personal issues, it's that much harder for nonprofits to get the attention and dollars they need to be successful.
