Key Messages Development & Communications Checklist

Our nonprofit needs support crafting a templated communications plan and key messaging guides. We hope to use this framework for future program initiatives, fundraising events, or crisis situations.

We need your expertise to communicate big moments for our nonprofit clearly, concisely, and consistently. We are looking for a skilled communications professional to:
-Create a checklist to guide your organization through the who, what, when, and how of sharing program updates, internal shifts, or responses to current events
-This checklist should pull in all the various channels that our nonprofit should use to reach staff, users, clients, volunteers, or funders so we have a standardized plan for outreach
-The templated communications plan should take into account our current marketing tools and staff availability

This project should take from 12-24 hours to complete. We're hopeful that our volunteer partner will share 2-5 hours of their time per week.

The volunteer will support our mission by helping us strategize our communications and messaging. We will support the program with our staff time and will have board support as well.

To prepare for the creation of this communications checklist, we have taken stock of existing email, PR, or social media tactics that have worked well for our team in the past. We will implement the results of this project by working with the board to gain buy-in and implement it in our various systems.
