Get in Touch

We work with nonprofits, educational institutions, social enterprises, and other mission-driven organizations ranging in size and staffing structure. Our clients have revenues ranging from under $1m to over $100m per year. All projects, including brand development services, require a designated point of contact from your organization to review and approve our work.

As a brand development agency, we believe the most important factor in nonprofits’ long-term success is trust. This is important for consumer brands as well; but unlike consumer brands, the value nonprofits provide isn’t based on a specific product or transaction. Instead, it’s based entirely on trust.

Our services are designed to cultivate trust by building and supporting authentic nonprofit brands. Authenticity occurs when your values, appearance, words, and actions are all in alignment. Our services are designed to build that alignment one piece at a time.

For that reason, we typically recommend nonprofits begin with their brand identity—that is, who they are both visibly and intrinsically. From there, we move on to what they say (messaging), and, finally, to public-facing assets and marketing (such as a website, campaigns, and ongoing communications).

There is no set track or prerequisite for most of our services—we’re happy to work with whatever foundation you have in place. But for organizations that haven’t had the opportunity to address these fundamentals—or for those in the midst of a significant change—we recommend beginning with the foundation, as this will ensure a greater return on every investment you make in the future.

We’re committed to making the world a better place both personally and professionally. In our personal lives, this means volunteering and helping others. Professionally, it means leveraging our expertise to help the organizations that are making the biggest impact. The world needs nonprofits—our work is about making sure people understand that and inspiring them to serve. Visit our About page to learn more about why we do what we do.

There’s the fast way to do things, and then there’s the right way. We recognize that budgetary and time considerations often play a role in the way nonprofits prioritize projects. And we’re happy to help out. But we also recognize that a strong brand and thoughtful strategy allow you to maximize the return and impact of every marketing investment you make.

While we help nonprofits of all different sizes and staffing structures, new clients often come to us after hitting a plateau in their growth. When the strategy is dealing with things as they come up, at some point, you wind up just treading water.

Brand strategy provides a foundation and a direction for growth, ensuring authenticity and consistency in your communications. From there, we help develop the strategies, resources, and assets you need to execute your brand strategy effectively over time.

This integrated approach to brand development is what sets Green Gate apart. We recognize that strong brands aren’t just deliverables—they’re what you do every single day. Visit our Services page to learn more about what we do and why.

We’ve worked with organizations in a wide range of impact spaces, from education to faith, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), health, community development, recovery, housing, and more. One of the things that makes Green Gate unique is that we only work with organizations whose missions we’re passionate about, so whether your cause is on the list or not, if we wind up working together, you can rest assured we’ll bring the passion, sensitivity, and expertise to engage with it effectively.
