Non Profit

"> ">

Agitation. Acceptance. Action

The three legs of the milking stool of non-profit PR are agitation, acceptance, and action. While every non-profit will have its own goals with media engagement, they all will include at least one of these focuses, with some including all three.

PR for participation

Non-profits often rely heavily on volunteers and action from individuals to achieve their missions. Attracting that level of participation is often dependent on exposure to an issue, group, or organisation. This can be partially achieved in the digital world by social media engagement; however, media exposure is where the real seeds of change happen.

Pitch media to fight ‘what’s the pointism’

The legacy of the last few years is that anxiety levels in communities are at their highest point on record. Most people are solely focused on survival. This focus dulls their hope for a better future. A more peaceful time where we turn back the tide of climate change. Where our actions regenerate land and bring back fauna and flora on the edge of extinction. Films like 2040 and Regenerating Australia show that a more positive and hopeful future is entirely possible, but not without action now.

Help a reporter out

Journalists have been hit with the 'perfect storm' - loss of public trust, diminishing access to resources and increasingly short deadlines.

It is the fabric of society itself.

Attracting others to your cause

Non-profits benefit more from free media exposure than almost any other type of organisation. Why? Your stories combine immediacy with local and human-interest stories. You can provide a great deal of factual content around issues with real-world consequences.

The role of media in fundraising for non-profits

The unfortunate fact of being a non-profit is that you always need more funds to continue your good works. You can go back to existing sources for additional funds, but at some point, this starts to produce diminishing returns and can even sour long-time supporters. You need to find new ways to attract new supporters and raise funds. Free media exposure can play an important role in helping you achieve this goal.

Let the facts tell the story

It's easy to argue over a point of view. It's much harder to argue against the facts.

Let's say you want to influence the public option on gun control in America. If you say guns are dangerous and ownership of firearms is unjustifiable, those with opposing views can easily argue about freedom and safety. Still, when you frame the discussion with irrefutable facts like the following, you have a greater chance of challenging entrenched beliefs:
