Portnoy Media Lab | Dan Portnoy | Nonprofit Tips

Nonprofits don’t have a fundraising problem. They have a communication problem.

I’m Dan Portnoy, author of The Nonprofit Narrative, helping nonprofit leaders raise more money by telling better stories.

On this channel you’ll find nonprofit fundraising strategy, donor storytelling, nonprofit marketing, communications, messaging, branding, campaign planning, leadership, and practical systems that help organizations connect with donors and grow sustainable giving. I share lessons from more than 20 years creating campaigns for organizations including Union Rescue Mission and United Way of Greater Los Angeles.

Whether you’re an executive director, development officer, fundraiser, marketer, or communications leader, you’ll learn how to clarify your message, build trust with donors, create fundraising campaigns that convert, and spend less time wondering what to post next.
