Pop Culture and Your Nonprofit

2021-11-14T06:32:02-05:00

with a Star Wars tie in on premier day? How about those clever groups that had #Throwbackthursday content queued up with a shout out to “Back to the Future Day” on October 21, 2015? Or, my personal favorite, an email fundraising campaign on paid family leave just in time for the birth of Princess Kate’s second little one. The nonprofits I am thinking of are doing a great job paying attention to pop culture and using it to influence their social media strategy and content calendar in a timely way. On this month’s episode of the Top NonProfits podcast, I’m [...]

Your Content Calendar + Google Drive

2021-08-16T17:57:32-04:00

This month’s Top Non-Profits podcast is all about Google Drive.

For starters, we dig deep into the spreadsheet tool. This is an obvious choice to build a content calendar… you know, dates in Column A and channels/topics in Row 1. But there is so. much. more. Check out this template from Bluewire media (it is formatted for 2015 but you get the idea). But the Google Drive spreadsheet tool goodness doesn’t [...]

Giving Tuesday: Why It’s Only Mediumly Important

2021-08-13T15:37:00-04:00

This post was originally published on Third Sector Today, which has since merged with TopNonprofits. Controversial, I know. Let’s start with the basics: #GivingTuesday is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  It is a great way to include nonprofit giving in the post Thanksgiving consumerist rush. This year, it falls on November 29, 2016. #GivingTuesday is an important part of any nonprofit’s end of year fundraising strategy…  but it is not the centerpiece for one main reason: everyone else is doing it, too. Nonprofit organizations are competing for inbox and newsfeed space with the majority of all other [...]
