The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast

Understanding the power of words in the social sector is crucial for nonprofit organizations. Choosing and using the right language in communications can mean the difference between engaging supporters or repelling them.A strong message not only gets noticed but also deepens connections with audiences and propels them to take action, ultimately leading to increased revenue and greater impact. It is essential for non-profit leaders to appreciate the energetic impact of words and harness their potential to shape beliefs and actions.In this episode of The Intentional Fundraiser podcast, Erica Barnhart and I talk about the significance of combining the familiar with the novel in language usage. By crafting messages that resonate with the audience's reticular activating system, organizations can increase their potential for understanding and mobilizing support for their cause. Being mindful of word choice helps non-profits create grooves in people's minds, allowing them to better communicate their mission and connect with their audience effectively.Erica emphasizes the importance of clear and concise messaging. With tailored communication strategies, #nonprofits can increase engagement, revenue, and impact. Take a listen.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEPitchfalls: why bad pitches happen to good people by Erica Mills Barnhart by Erica MillsRecharge: Energize your employees one word at a timeGreat Mission.
