Let’s work together to advance your mission.

Our Work

Happy clients make us happy.

Caitlin is amazing! She brought order to our social media strategy, created a clear plan and consistently delivers on that plan. Caitlin has an intuitive ability to understand our needs and then research the topics and content that resonates with our community. She makes sure our newsletters and posts are always on time and on target so that the rest of the team can focus on other work.

According to Google Cloud’s 2023 Sustainability Survey, Nine in 10 companies have publicly announced sustainability commitments. However, only 58% are implementing programs to advance those commitments.

The nonprofit sector is primed to change that stat. Our sector exists to fill the gaps, to work collectively, and to create positive change in our communities. Our latest blog post shares a few ways we can start to incorporate sustainable practices into our organizations. Read it at thinkbignonprofits.com/blog (link in bio)!

Your nonprofit's journey towards inclusive messaging is ongoing. It's not just about posting DEI statements; it's about fostering real engagement. Are your social media posts amplifying diverse voices?

We had the honor of designing the Resilience Empowerment Project Journal for the @az_aces_consortium and we’re so pleased with how it turned out! Teens will be using these journals in upcoming stress management and resilience workshops.

Many nonprofits are springing into action this time of year ready to launch new branding, update goals and strategies, foster new connections, or, like we’re seeing, all of the above. Our latest blog post explains what you need to know about preparing for a website redesign. (Link in bio)

What a tremendous honor to be a part of Governor Hobbs’ first International State of the State address with @pcfraz! We were lucky enough to get to design the printed/marketing materials for this event, and to be there to hear from Governor Hobbs about Arizona’s leadership on the world stage. Bravo @doruntine & @sam_i_am1445 for an expertly curated event! 👏🏼🥂

When your client is the Arizona Columbine Garden Club they get you Arizona Columbine flowers as a ‘thank you’! Aren’t these stunning? 🌞 💐

We’ve nearly made it to the finish line! As we wind down from a busy and hopefully bountiful year, take some time to get organized and refreshed before 2023 comes in quick.

If you’ve ever worked at a nonprofit you’re probably all too familiar with ‘wearing too many hats’ syndrome.

And, it’s not difficult to determine how we got here. With lowered budgets over the past few years, dwindling staff, and more and more needs that nonprofits fulfill, there has been a lot of pressure on nonprofit leaders to take on additional responsibilities.

But how can nonprofit leaders start delegating and dispersing the workload?

Sometimes I get to see my designs in the wild! Great luncheon event with @literarysocietyofthesouthwest and author Maggie @shipstead today!

According to the Leading with Intent 2021 survey, 69 percent of nonprofit board members are 45 or older and only 9 percent are under 35.

It’s important to include younger voices on nonprofit boards not only for looks, but for success moving forward. Gen Z and millennial leaders are focused on purpose and innovation, and it’s no longer an option to leave them out of the boardroom.

Our latest blog post shares examples of how to recruit young talent to your board and examples of nonprofits who are already doing a fabulous job of diversifying their board.

It was an honor to sit next to the incredible human Colum McCann today at the @literarysocietyofthesouthwest’s final event of the season! This man is doing the good work of bridging divides and teaching young people about empathy through his work with @narrative4.

And his latest book ‘Apeirogon’ is a nuanced look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the stories of two dads from either side of the West Bank. Read it!

You guys… @pcfraz outdid themselves with tonight’s event. @ben.j.rhodes spoke to us about the need for Americans to put preservation of democracy at the top of our priority lists. I fan-girled out a bit about @podsavetheworld @crookedmedia. Lovely to meet this gem of a human!

Plus I got a date night with my girl @emoney20 sans kiddos at the lovely @paradisevalleycountryclub. Check this view! ✌🏻

The myriad issues facing humanity can feel overwhelming and impossible to address, but individuals have the power to create real change. Stop feeling hopeless and start taking action!

Navigating through 2022 takes #nonprofit leaders that are prepared to adapt, listen, and share.

Your mission is more vital than ever in this disruptive and unsettled time, and preparing for the year ahead takes more than just a beginning-of-year planning meeting with your team.

We thought we would share some examples of nonprofits that we think have adapted so well to evolving media changes and other shifts in the world (follow them for ideas and great content!)

👉 Shoutout to nonprofits like @newstory charity for consistent storytelling on Reels and TikTok

👉 @MarysPlaceWA accepts direct cryptocurrency donations

👉 @bmorehumane shares puppy training tips and other related content to provide quick, valuable, and adorable content that fulfills their mission

We want to support you, and that’s why we’ve put together this forecast on major themes that will need to be considered and prioritized in order to thrive and fulfill your mission to its highest potential.
