We guide interested parties through applications, manage invoicing and renewals, and aid in maximizing member benefits through accessibility, systemization and strategic communications.
Public Relations
Public Relations is a large component of an effective marketing strategy and crucial to nonprofits when wanting to promote their services and events to a wider audience. Shine a bigger spotlight on your organization’s story with focused media outreach. Through attention-grabbing press releases and pitches to editors, we secure exposure for your organization with television, radio and print media.
Social Media Management
Social media communications can be an invaluable tool for supporting nonprofit causes by telling your story, generating revenue and fostering association engagement.

Let our professional staff work with you to ensure that you are leveraging social media to the benefit of your organization.
