WWU Marketing April Alumni Chat

Brought to you by WWU Marketing Alumni in partnership with the WWU Alumni Association
 

Marketing is as important for nonprofit and public-sector organizations as it is for for-profit businesses. Nonprofit organizations are a brand, and therefore need to raise awareness just like any other business or company. Marketers help to spread the word about an organization and the overall cause, and marketing for nonprofits involves many of the same marketing strategies to connect with donors and volunteers. Marketing is an essential tool to amplify an organization's cause and mission, solicit donations, and attract volunteers and supporters creating valuable experiences that have a positive impact on people. Adapting the latest marketing strategies isn’t just a “best practice” anymore — it’s critical to the future of nonprofit organizations.  

Join us for this informative chat about the latest trends and best practices in nonprofit marketing.
