Assistance for Non-Profits

 

 

   We realize times are tough and many non-profits are experiencing declines in funding.  Frequently, this results in staff layoffs and reductions in the services you provide to your client base.

 

   Over the past 25 years I’ve shared my marketing expertise with small non-profits and well-established groups such as The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Volunteers of America and other groups.

 

Overview of Services

 

  • Grass roots fundraising ideas
  • Creation of appeal letters
  • Administrative support
  • Government grant research
  • Public Relations ideas and strategies-online distribution

 

 

   Examples…

 

I rewrote and restructured the annual appeal letter for tuition assistance for the Catholic Dioceses of Cleveland, which resulted in a doubling of their contributions.  For a small woman’s clinic I secured $75,000 in foundation grants for equipment and salaries.

 

   I taught small business and non-profit marketing strategies for six years at Cleveland State University and other colleges, based on my best selling work Mercenary Marketing.

 

   Our fees are small and flexible and dependent on your needs and budget.  As an independent contractor, you don’t have to worry about salary and related government expenses – a substantial savings to your organization.

 

   Send me an email today outlining your needs.  I will get back to you within 24-hours.  Please include a phone number and best time to call.

 

Yours for better living,

P.S.  Sometimes you might just need a ‘whack on the side of the head,’ to brainstorm ideas or a sounding board…let me know – no charge!
