Communications Consulting Built for the Nonprofit Sector
We are not a generic marketing agency learning your sector on your dime. We work exclusively with nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and social impact groups, and we bring both professional expertise and lived experience to every engagement.

Lived Experience
Our team includes racialized newcomers and underrepresented minorities with firsthand experience navigating the systems your beneficiaries rely on.
Capacity Building Focus
We don’t just deliver and leave. Every engagement includes training and documentation so your team can maintain momentum independently. That is our legacy of competence approach.
Equity-Driven Approach
Equity, diversity, and inclusion are embedded in how we work, from anti-racist content frameworks to culturally responsive design and accessible digital experiences.

Need a Website or More Visibility?
Websites, systems and IT support have their own page, and so do Google Ad Grants, SEO and AI search. Many organizations combine them with communications work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does nonprofit communications consulting cost?
Every engagement is scoped to your organization’s specific needs, budget, and timeline, so pricing varies. We offer flexible models including project-based, retainer, and phased approaches to fit organizations of all sizes, from grassroots collectives to large national charities. The best way to get a clear picture is to book a free 30-minute consultation where we will discuss your goals and recommend the right scope.
What social media platforms should nonprofits focus on?
It depends on your audience and goals. LinkedIn is essential for B2B fundraising, thought leadership, and connecting with funders. Instagram works for visual storytelling and engaging donors aged 25 to 44. Facebook remains strong for events, community building, and donors over 45. TikTok is emerging for awareness campaigns targeting younger audiences. We recommend starting with two platforms done well rather than five done poorly, and we help you identify the right ones based on your stakeholder map.
What is included in an impact report?
Our impact reports typically include an executive summary with headline metrics, program outcomes with data visualization, beneficiary stories and testimonials that humanize your data, a financial transparency section, year-over-year comparisons to show growth, and forward-looking goals tied to your strategic plan. We design print-ready PDFs, interactive web versions, and social media summary graphics so you can share your impact across every channel.
How do you measure communications success?
We establish baseline metrics during the discovery phase, then track key performance indicators including website traffic and conversion rates, social media engagement and follower growth, email open and click-through rates, media mentions and earned coverage, donor acquisition and retention rates, and overall brand awareness. We provide monthly or quarterly reporting with actionable insights, not just raw data, so you always know what is working and what to adjust.
What makes nonprofit communications different from corporate marketing?
Nonprofit communications must serve multiple audiences simultaneously: donors, funders, beneficiaries, volunteers, board members, and government partners. You are communicating an intangible outcome (social impact and systemic change) rather than a tangible product. Budget constraints require maximum creativity and strategic efficiency. And messaging must balance urgency with dignity, especially when representing marginalized and equity-deserving communities. Our team specializes exclusively in this space, bringing both professional expertise and lived experience in the nonprofit and social impact sector.
Do you also build websites and manage Google Ads?
Yes. Websites, hosting and custom systems are covered on our Technology & IT Services page, and Google Ad Grants, SEO and AI search on our Google Ad Grants & Search Visibility page. Many organizations combine them with communications work.
