Description: Content Creation
The Challenge
In December 2018, a few weeks before Christmas, Rick's home was burglarized. His family lost a significant amount of their possessions and the thieves even stole his daughter’s dog. Instead of losing hope, Rick and his family rebuilt their homes, their businesses and have been able to come back stronger than ever. To expand his nonprofit and be more competitive for grant funding, IMPACT has helped to rebrand and remodel his website, logo and operational plan.
The IMPACT
With IMPACT’s help, Rick is undergoing a brand and website revamp.
Members of IMPACT’s team were able to help Rick:
-
Raised $3,000 for a branding and website revamp
-
Created an operational manual to allow delegation of responsibilities.
-
Established working budget and cost/benefit analysis for programs.
-
Researched sponsorship opportunities and other sustainable methods of future funding.
