If you’ve been following along on the Prosper blog for the last few weeks, you know we feel strongly that the time has come for the nonprofit sector to start a marketing revolution.
Nonprofits of all shapes and sizes are experiencing massive change, and in some cases, massive struggles. More organizations are competing for fewer dollars. Traditional funding streams are becoming less reliable. Donors and the way they give look very different than they did 10 years ago. Tax and government regulations have become increasingly uncertain. And the need from the communities nonprofits serve is greater than ever.
Your organization can overcome challenges like these, but first, you’re going to have to totally change the way you approach marketing. If your organization is still treating marketing like it’s a dirty word, or limiting it to the soft and fluffy world of “awareness-building,” you’re going to have to make a change if you want to survive, grow and make an impact.

The good news is that a small group of extraordinary organizations are bucking the status quo and redefining the role marketing plays in advancing their mission. They’re turning marketing into a true force for social change, and their forward-thinking approach can be a great model for the rest of the sector.
That’s why we recently hosted a webinar in partnership with Independent Sector featuring special guest Brian Frederick, Vice President of Communications at the ALS Association. Following their wildly successful Ice Bucket Challenge, the ALS Association transformed marketing from an awareness building tool to a mission-advancing tool, and in our recent webinar, Brian told us all how they did it.
Watch the webinar to learn:
-
Why marketing is more critical for nonprofits today than ever before
-
How today’s most successful nonprofits are increasing the impact of their marketing on their missions by making 10 critical commitments
-
How the ALS Association uses the 10 commitments to make marketing an integral part of advancing their mission
-
How your organization can begin to think bigger about marketing and start its own marketing revolution in 2019
