Nonprofit Marketing Nerd Business Launch Announcement

Hey there, friends! Welcome to the Nonprofit Marketing Nerd community. It's Kelly here, and I couldn't be more excited to dive into this journey with all of you.

Today's launch marks a significant step toward building a space for us, the nonprofit marketing nerds, to unite, learn, and grow together. I'm thrilled to share my experiences, insights, and a ton of free resources to help our fellow nonprofit professionals navigate the often tricky waters of marketing and fundraising. Welcome to Nonprofit Marketing Nerd - Where I teach nonprofits leaders how to level up their marketing and storytelling!

But, first, why am I launching Nonprofit Marketing Nerd?

I’ve failed forward in the nonprofit space.

I have to admit I’ve failed forward a lot in my nonprofit professional life and my personal journey. From my grassroots marketing experience promoting the performing arts to co-managing a $250K+ gala to co-writing and directing a bilingual musical in rural Japan to Director of Adult Education at a community college, I've worn many hats in the nonprofit sector. I've felt the burnout and frustration of trying to do it all, of feeling like the available resources just didn't quite fit our needs.

I then launched Grit HQ, basically an outsourced development director agency, serving small to midsize nonprofits for five fulfilling years. It was an incredible opportunity to work with 36 different organizations, celebrating successes and learning from a few stumbles along the way. But there was still something missing, a gap that needed to be filled. I wanted to help nonprofits, but providing direct support, I could only help so many organizations level up their marketing.

So, I decided to launch Nonprofit Marketing Nerd to make a bigger impact in the nonprofit space!

Two years back, I found myself at Talbott Talent, learning even more about the sector and realizing the immense potential for innovative solutions. It struck me that nonprofits, needed specialized tools and resources, minus the fluff and unnecessary expenses of a lot of the marketing agencies, trainings, and resources out there.

I needed this a decade ago, and that realization fuels my passion to be the resource I wish I had back then.

The Nonprofit Marketing Nerd isn't just about sharing tips or tricks—it's about diving into your world, empathizing with your struggles, and providing real, practical solutions.
