Let’s Help Inc.

[Promotional Plan]
The following document contains the promotional plan for the Let’s Help Inc. newsletter.
Executive Summary

As Washburn University students Garrett Brower, Adam Forbes, and Shea Kirsop partnered with Let’s Help Inc. of Topeka, Kansas to develop a promotional plan consisting of an up to date organization newsletter. The goal was to raise awareness of the organization through the newsletter that is sent out quarterly by researching what recipients want to know and implementing it in the newsletters.

The research method used consisted of personal interviews with donors (personal and organizational) and individuals who are involved with Let’s Help or other non-profits. Interview questions were developed to help understand what the most significant attributes of non-profits are that people and companies look for. Through our research we found that relationships, donation cause, and awareness were most significantly talked about during the interviews. We were able to then understand what people and companies valued the most, and implement that into a newsletter template.

After looking over the current Let’s Help newsletter we decided that some information was valuable to keep, along with adding what readers wanted know based on our new findings. The template was also redone so that the reader could easily transition from one to the next. With the data we captured and implemented into the newsletter, we expect awareness, contact, donations and interest of Let’s Help to increase through their newsletter.

    Addressing the funding of nonprofits in today’s environment requires creativity. Government funding cuts play a major role in a non-profits currently surviving on a safety net established with the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Senior Homes). Nonprofits also often receive state funds; with the recent economic downturn the groups receiving state support are receiving less funding and the money sent is often in the rears. As state and federal budget cuts loom, resources for nonprofits must rely on the private sector for funding and support. From 1999 to 2009 there was a 31% increase in nonprofit organizations according to the latest data (Charitable Statistics). With this increase in nonprofit organizations, there is a more competitive market for the allotted monies from both public and private resources which cause straining in the market. Organizations must think outside the box to pursue fundraising and awareness to their cause and campaign to differentiate themselves from those with similar missions in such a competitive market. Streamlining data and administrative processes are underway with many nonprofits. Not possessing the funding to develop a digital presence can also cause funding to move slowly since online marketing is a way to raise awareness and attention to potential funding sources.…

    Not-for-profit organization’s primary goal “is not to increase shareholder value; rather it is to provide some socially desirable need on an ongoing basis. It generally lacks the financial flexibility of a commercial enterprise because it depends on resource providers that are not engaging in an exchange transaction. The resources provided are directed towards providing goods or services to a client other than the actual resource provider. Thus the not-for-profit must demonstrate its stewardship of donated resources —money donated…

    The greatest potential benefit of nonprofit groups operating like businesses is operational efficiency and less dependency on public funding. As described in the case study, “Blurring the Line Between Profits and Nonprofits,” when Michael Miller became President of Portland Goodwill in the mid-1980s, he adopted a corporate approach to running the charity that increased total sales tenfold (Johnson, 2007, p. xxiii). By adopting business best practices, this nonprofit group became very successful and was able to reduce its reliance on government funding.…

    Every day hundreds, if not thousands of families look forward to their local upcoming weekend activities. For some, it is the local fair that rolls into town with the rides for their children. Others, it is a walk on the water front with good food and drinks. For most, it is time to relax, have a cold drink, and enjoy things like Seafair in Washington State, or the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach for Southern California residents. Without local non-profit organizations, most of your favorite weekend activities would not exist. Non-profit organizations support many local events, as well as community programs that would not normally receive assistance. For a non-profit organization to flourish, it must have organization, structure, income, volunteers, a location, and events to move it forward. However, sometime with the fluctuation of the economy, it can make things difficult for the non-profit to move forward or even survive.…

    Here in Houston there’s a non-profit organization by the name of, “The Care Zone.” The care zone assists single parents, low income families and loyal students in the greater Houston area. The ceo and founder of the care zone is Chung “Chad” Kim, a refugee of Cambodia. Mr.Kim, founded the care zone in 2009 so his organization is still very new to the community and the city. Even though the organization is still fairly new, they’ve made it capable for others to communicate with them as well as being able to communicate with the community. If a person is willing to donate a totaled vehicle or just an old vehicle they no longer want and would love a tax write off, a person would only need to fill out the “contact us” form found on the care zone website and representative would contact them on their next moves. Since the care zone does assist clients, they much like all other human service professionals want to see growth from the…
