Helping Nonprofits thrive in
challenging times

The Current Economy has Hit You Hard
Major gifts have fallen off sharply, as have corporate and individual donations. Even long-standing relations you may have with foundations are producing less grant funding, if any at all. And you know that as badly as you need the funds, holding a major fundraiser or special event is risky in these economic times. Making matters worse, in times like this, your services are in greater demand.

I’ve Been There…
At the American Red Cross Bay Area Chapter, we faced a similar challenge. We needed to prepare the San Francisco Bay Area public for the imminent possibility of a catastrophic earthquake, which could result in over 400,000 people being instantly homeless. Yet following shortly after Hurricane Katrina, our funding resources were severely tapped-out, our staff had been reduced by over 35%, and we couldn’t attempt such a necessary, broad-reaching campaign. We needed help.

How Cause Marketing Made a Difference
Fortunately, we were able to develop a cause marketing partnership with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. This partnership led to the development of the most successful emergency preparedness campaign in history – training over 1,000,000 Bay Area residents. Learn how.
