Nonprofits Only. You won’t get case studies from Apple or examples from Walmart. We teach from the perspective of attracting nonprofit audiences like donors, members, visitors, students, alumni and volunteers. Our interest is in helping you build a community that takes action.

We’re not teaching marketing — we’re teaching nonprofit marketing. This isn’t a generalist program. Whether it’s core skills like graphic design and copywriting, channels like email and social, or development communications sessions like annual appeals — our classes are tailored to the needs of a nonprofit marketer. And that doesn’t just mean our subject areas. We teach from the perspective of attracting nonprofit audiences like donors, members, visitors, students, alumni, and volunteers. Our interest is in helping you build a community that takes action.

Ideas for all budgets and any software. We know that some organizations have staff, structure and budgets to do big things. And that others are piecing together a patchwork all on their own. Our classes are software agnostic. We’ll show you how to be successful regardless of your tools and resources.

Learning takes time. These are not sales webinars masked as education. Classes are typically 60 minutes. We know that time is your most precious commodity. Classes are fast paced and full of ideas and information. And we’ll leave you with resources and tools to continue the work on your own.

Join the series for access to the recordings of each Color, Type, & Layout: Graphic Design Best Practices for 1 month after purchase. You’ll build an understanding of how to use color, type, and layout to your advantage. And as a bonus — you’ll get access to Ask the Art Director.
