“No one understands what our organization does.” Strong messaging and communication can: Significantly increase general awareness about what you do Enhance donor engagement Create message alignment to diminish internal conflict about what you do and who you serve.

10 Messaging Resources: Answer the following questions (concisely).
Do this as a group and share your answers (if you feel you have a meeting space where this would be productive) Questions: What do we do? Who is it for? Where do we do it? How do we accomplish it? Why is it important? Via: CNL Consultant, Joe Heslin

11 BUILDING A STRONG BOARD
“Our board isn’t functioning, isn’t engaged, is having conflict, won’t ask for money.” A strong board needs clarity in their roles, direction, and often ongoing support and coaching so that they can help to guide, fundraise, represent, and advocate for the organizations they serve.
