Communications for Associations and Non-Profits
Strategic communications, member and donor communications, advocacy and monthly support for associations, non-profits and foundations in Alberta and British Columbia.
Support at every point in the year
Associations and non-profits run on a cycle. reVerb plans communications around it so each campaign, event and report builds on the last.
Annual plan
Priorities, audiences, key messages and a calendar your team can run.
Member and donor campaigns
Renewal, recruitment, stewardship and giving campaigns across email, web and social.
Events and conferences
Promotion, sponsor communications, speaker preparation and on-site content.
Advocacy moments
Budget, legislation and election campaigns, with briefing materials and media support.
Annual report and AGM
Impact reporting, the annual report and AGM materials.
Communications is part of how a mission gets done
Members renew when they see the value of belonging, and donors give again when they see what the last gift achieved. Both depend on communications.
reVerb scopes communications to the size of your team and budget, and focuses the work on the audiences and moments that matter most to your mission.
We help associations and non-profits communicate with purpose, within the capacity and budget they have.
Where associations and non-profits bring reVerb in
These are the points where we most often support mission-driven teams.
Small teams, big workloads
Communications often sits with one person alongside other duties. We add planning, writing and design capacity so the work gets done on schedule.
Many audiences
Members, donors, volunteers, boards, funders, government and the public each need something different. We map them and build messages for each.
Showing impact
Members, donors and funders each want to see what their support achieved. We turn program data and stories into reports and content they will read.
Member engagement
Members weigh their dues against everything else competing for their time. We build communications that show the value of belonging throughout the year.
Donor communications
Stewardship keeps donors giving. We plan donor communications that thank, report back and invite the next gift.
Too many channels
Email, social, web and events all need content. We help you choose the channels that reach your audiences and drop the ones that do not.
