When it comes to marketing, many nonprofits shift right to thinking about development. But development and marketing are different skills, with different needs and separate goals.

A robust marketing strategy that’s founded in clear and powerful branding, can help you raise money while also increasing your visibility in the community and around the world.

After years of working in the nonprofit and higher education industries, she launched Evergreen to help nonprofits and small businesses who may not have the time, resources, or skillset to grow their engagement through marketing.
