Think of this as your own communications resource library. As much as we may want to, we can’t work with every nonprofit out there. But even those we don’t work with directly can benefit from some of Big Duck’s free (or inexpensive) nonprofit communications resources.
Resources
- The Duck Call blog features regular posts from Big Duck staff and friends. It’s all about nonprofit communications, with the occasional random surprise thrown in for good measure. You can follow it via RSS feed, weekly email digest, or by checking it out online.
- Brandraising: How Nonprofits Raise Visibility and Money Through Smart Communications is a book by Big Duck principal and founder Sarah Durham. You can order the book here or read more about how Big Duck helps nonprofits improve their branding.
- The brandraising scorecard is a free tool that helps give you a sense of how well your organization communicates now and how you might do better. It takes about 15 minutes to complete, then generates a report you can keep or share.
- The Duck Pond is Big Duck’s monthly e-newsletter. It offers tips, tools, case studies, and other advice for communicating more effectively.
- We Ducks regularly lead workshops and trainings for nonprofits or speak at conferences. Check out our upcoming workshops—maybe we'll be in your neck of the woods sometime soon.
- Each short episode of our podcast, The Nonprofit Jungle, offers insight into a particular communications issue you may face at your organization. They’re each less than 10 minutes long, and you can listen to them online or via iTunes.
- Read articles about smart communications and fundraising for nonprofits by Sarah Durham and other members of the Big Duck team.
