Rise above the noise: How to enhance your brand, build trust and grow your funding in challenging times
Trust in Australian institutions is low. The bushfire crisis has heightened scrutiny of how organisations use their funds, particularly not for profits. And in an open marketplace, articulating your impact is critical for differentiating your organisation, so what you achieve is just as clear as what you do.
In this 60-minute online session, you’ll learn how to measure your social impact and use these insights to build a compelling narrative – one that attracts sustainable funding, builds trust with consumers, engages your partners and strengthens relationships with staff internally.
This webinar will go beyond measuring ‘outputs’ to evaluating the impact your organisation has on people’s lives, or on the environment. You’ll learn how to leverage these findings to enhance your brand.
Our expert presenters, Melanie Yap and Melinda Scaringi from Ellis Jones, will answer questions such as:
- How can I build my organisation’s brand, so that funders know us, and trust us to make a positive impact through their investment?
- How can I make key decision-makers understand what we really do? The difference we make in people’s lives?
- How can I set my organisation apart from others seeking this funding?
- How can I build trust with the people we know we can help, so they engage, and stay engaged, with our services?
You’ll leave this webinar empowered to determine which programs and services you should include in your social impact strategy and evaluation, what tools are best for measuring your organisation’s impact, and how you can communicate your impact in a way that’s compelling for funders, consumers, staff, partners and other stakeholders.
Who should attend?
This webinar is aimed at CEOs, grant managers, program managers, development/sustainability managers, finance managers, and marketing managers – of community organisations, particularly service providers, looking to build their brand and create more sustainable funding streams.
