Make Your Mission Irresistible
Struggling to get the right people to support your mission? You’re not alone.
Social enterprises are redefining how we tackle society’s toughest challenges—whether it’s dismantling systemic inequities, addressing environmental crises, or building more just and sustainable communities. But even the most impactful organizations struggle with one fundamental challenge: Getting the funding, customers, and supporters they need to thrive.
It’s not because their missions aren’t worthy. It’s because they haven’t mastered how to sell their vision in a way that funders, investors and customers can’t resist.
Here’s the truth: Whether you’re running a for-profit social enterprise or a nonprofit, your ability to secure funding, attract customers, and rally support all comes down to one thing—your story.
The way you position your mission, the trust you build, and the emotional connections you create can make the difference between struggling to stay afloat and thriving with impact.
I know this because I’ve spent over two decades helping justice-motivated organizations do exactly that. As a journalist-turned-social-impact strategist, I’ve seen firsthand how the right marketing and messaging can unlock funding, transform brands, and elevate movements.
This ebook gives you the roadmap.
