From Story to Support: Using Communications to Build Trust, Community & Resources

Beginning September 11th: the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, in partnership with the UW-Green Bay Nonprofit Education and Development Network, is offering a three-part series, “From Story to Support: Using Communications to Build Trust, Community & Resources”:

“Communications are more than a marketing tool—they are one of the most powerful ways organizations build trust, strengthen relationships, and inspire people to invest in their mission. This series explores how intentional storytelling and cohesive communications can transform the way nonprofits engage their communities and mobilize resources. Whether your organization has a dedicated communications team or relies on staff and volunteers wearing multiple hats, this series offers practical, accessible strategies that help organizations communicate with greater clarity, consistency, and impact.
