3. CanopyPartner: Inspire action across all your communications

As a communications specialist, I bolster nonprofit teams with science-backed stories that highlight their impact. Most of my nonprofit clients are dedicated to land conservation & restoration, nature connection & access, climate solutions, and independent publishing.

Your nonprofit will benefit from:

  • Strategic narrative development that identifies your most compelling stories and conveys them across your platforms

  • Cohesive messaging and branding that unifies your story

  • Increased fundraising capacity because you built a communications strategy that aligns with the needs, concerns, and interests of your audience

  • An elevated online presence that highlights your mission and impact

This package includes: 

  • Weekly strategy sessions to align narratives with campaigns and fundraising goals

  • A seasonal editorial calendar to organize and coordinate content

  • 1 e-newsletter draft (per month) complete with copy for the opening letter, program updates, upcoming events, new blogs, and calls to action

  • 10–15 social media posts that are aligned with your editorial calendar

Our four-step process:

  1. Discovery: Identify and discuss your brand and audience. You will share your style guide, brand positioning, and user personas with me. If you do not have those yet, we will work together with a brand strategist first.

  2. Strategy: Develop an editorial calendar and messaging framework.

  3. Implementation: Craft and distribute stories across your channels.

  4. Measurement: Monitor which stories drive the most action or engagement, and refine our approach accordingly.
