Summary:

Thanks to artificial intelligence, email, mail houses, and social media, it's never been easier for nonprofits to communicate with supporters. But how can nonprofits ensure their message cuts through all the noise? Learn how to fully leverage your ministry's impact stories to not only reach your donors but also inspire them to act/give. In addition to tips and tricks to improve your nonprofit's communications process, Jonathan will provide resources and samples to empower you to immediately improve your nonprofit's communications.
