Summary:
42. Branding is all about how your organization is
perceived.
Simply put, a brand is you—it’s not a logo, poster
or a video. A brand is the way people feel about
you, what they talk about when you come up in
conversation and your overall reputation.
“Your brand is what other people say about you
when you're not in the room.”
- Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com

Actively managing your image through branding will
affect whether or not others interact positively
with your organization.

Expand Your Network of Support

branding efforts.
53. WHY? WHAT? HOW?
Why do you exist?
This question is often best
answered by considering
what problem in the world
is your nonprofit solving,
and why can you can solve
this problem more credibly
than any other.
What is the benefit to
your community,
volunteers, staff, and
stakeholders, and how
would this make them
feel?
This helps define brand
personality and symbolism,
and other key attributes of
the brand.
How does the brand
deliver on the promise?
Building on the brand’s
core strengths, consider
what products and services
match the business’ core
competencies.
