How Simulating Vision Loss Helped Donors Connect to Our Cause

tnpadmin2021-08-28T10:44:05-04:00

When you’re so absorbed by an issue every single day, it’s easy to forget that many people (even donors) may not completely understand the issue that you’re trying to solve. Our donors know that loss of vision makes life incredibly difficult for those who are living in the countries we work in - but many people think that ‘blindness’ means the complete loss of vision with no remaining perception of light (a life of darkness).

Rethinking Your Mission Statement

tnpadmin2018-07-10T04:03:48-04:00

The mission statement; It is easily one of the most important piece of any nonprofit’s outward messaging.

Avoid Elaborate Language One of the most common problems with mission statements, and company messaging in general, is that the writer wants to convey their entire organizations work into a single and effective message that [...]

I’m getting slammed with requests from Trump supporters to “give the guy a chance.” And believe me, I’m [...]
