Free Nonprofit Branding Resources

Nonprofit Marketing Tips
Written By KATHERINE BRANCH

At the Nonprofit Marketing Summit, we shared branding insights with nonprofit professionals from all over the country. To accompany the presentation, we also developed a range of free resources exclusively for Summit audiences. These included:

  • An online Brand Health Assessment that takes five minutes to complete and provides immediate feedback on how your brand is performing and what you can do to strengthen it

  • A downloadable version called a Brand Health Scorecard

  • A survey you can administer to stakeholders to kick off conversations and get a sense of what your brand means to them

Now that the Summit is over, we want to make the same resources available to all those who could not attend.

If you pay attention to brands and marketing, you may have noticed that “purpose” is having a moment, particularly with for-profit brands. Although you don’t hear that word as much among nonprofits. To understand why, we need to look at what these foundational statements actually are.

What is the Difference Between Brand Identity and Visual Identity?
What is the Difference Between Brand Identity and Visual Identity?

Your visual identity is important. It’s part of what attracts people and it’s also how they recognize you. Ideally, the way you look also communicates a lot about who you are and what you care about. But just like there’s more to every book than its cover, there’s more to who you are than the way you look.
