I couldn't agree more that you must start with having a story to tell. Know your message and who you need to reach first. Then, don't let your size or historical scope limit you! Never before have non-profits had so many channels flexible enough to support their efforts. So, be thoughtful, be strategic, be open and be creative...the possibilities for growing your organization and its mission are broader than you may think. Nowhere do I see this more today than in social media circles, where if you have a genuine cause and an honest energy to do good, advocates will flock to support you. We must remember that every touchpoint is an opportunity to create a new advocate that extends our own efforts and creates more opportunities for positive change. Thanks again for your thoughts.
