Strengthen your relationship with donors and your case for support with inspiring communications.

This webinar will help leadership and fundraising professionals at all levels learn how brand purpose and positioning are an important part of fundraising.

Expected Outcomes:

1. Learn the differences between a statement of mission and vision, and how they align with your brand’s actions, behaviors, and communications.

2. Explore examples of brands that have successfully expressed their purpose across multiple media.

3. Learn a three-step process to engaging your stakeholders in developing inspiring brand messaging.
