Cause Marketing

Partner with the not-for-profits you care about. Help further their mission by showing up with strategic support and, you guessed it, produce a positive impact. Cause Marketing not only builds strong community relations, it can make a big difference. I’ve seen it work and am passionate about it! Scroll down to see some examples. Then imagine your organization being added to this page!

This is SUCH a great opportunity to make a donation to two very worthy non-profits!

It’s so wonderful to be able to support KLCC and Food For Lane County with one donation. Kudos to Essex General Construction company for giving to others in our community.

Why Cause Marketing?

A strategic approach to supporting the not-for-profits you care about can and should increase the benefits to those organizations and reflect positively on your business. I dive deep to understand your goals for giving and the needs of the not-for-profits you choose to support. I am adept at teasing out synergies not apparent at first glance. I can support your goals whether we start at ground zero by creating a mission for your charitable giving along with a budget and annual plan, or dive into specific not-for-profit partnerships to design, implement and communicate results.
