Communications & Media Relations Specialist & PR Coach, Shawna Ogston Communications & Media Relations
I have worked in the charitable sector for 30 years. I have seen a lot of change and impact, but the biggest shift for nonprofits has been since the pandemic. Demand for services is unceasing, leadership is retiring, funding is band-aide at best, and the holes in the social safety net are getting bigger. How do we communicate all the nuances of the business of charity?
