A lot of new audience-building efforts focus on programming or promotions. But the biggest barrier might be the experience itself.
If the first visit makes them feel out of place or underinformed, they won’t come back. No matter how good the art is.

A mission statement isn’t just a description.
It’s a declaration—of purpose and impact.

An effective nonprofit brand starts with your mission—it should drive everything. Too often, nonprofits settle for unprofessional logos and hard-to-navigate websites, weakening their connection with audiences, donors, and supporters.
