Our founder says it straight. It's time to get LOUD. #nonprofitmarketing #marketingisgood
Last week, the richest man in the world went on the most-listened podcast in the world and called the American nonprofit sector "a gigantic scam - maybe the biggest scam ever." Meanwhile, a sampling of the 501(c)(3) charitable organizations who signed up or renewed with Feathr last week: ?? Regional org providing food, shelter, and rental assistance to thousands of at-risk senior citizens in a large county in Texas ?? Local org providing career or college guidance, application support, and interview practice to economically disadvantaged high school students in a small town in Virginia ?? Global Christian org providing emergency relief in crisis zones, as well as micro-loans and vocational training to break generational poverty, to millions around the world These organization are not "a scam." These organizations are saving lives and changing lives of fellow human beings, the most vulnerable among us. We need to amplify these stories of impact. We need to reach more people and counter the aggressive propaganda campaign being launched against the nonprofit sector. We need to win more hearts and minds. Now is not the time to be modest or humble – it's time to get LOUD. P.S. All three of these organizations are directly or indirectly funded by federal government grants and loans.
