Seminar Description
How Nonprofits Can Get Their Message Out
Nonprofit organizations, competing harder than ever for attention from funders and supporters, need to make sure their message is heard – by the right people in the right way at the right time. However, many nonprofits tend to fall short because they haven’t taken the time to properly construct and direct their marketing messages.
Peter Lowy, publisher of www.massnonprofit.org, the leading independent source of news on Massachusetts nonprofits, will speak at the Jan. 18 meeting. Drawing from his experience publishing hundreds of articles each year by and about nonprofits, as well as more than three decades of communication and marketing experience, Lowy will present a framework that nonprofits can use to improve the way they tell their story. He’ll show what works and suggest ways that nonprofit marketing practitioners can take to make sure their messages get a hearing.
This event is free and open to all nonprofit organizations and individuals interested in the nonprofit sector. Coffee shall be served. The Nonprofit Net Inc. is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization based in Lexington. Its mission is to unite nonprofits with their community and increase their capacity to deliver services.

Academic Service-Learning: A New Source of Support for Nonprofits Over the past 15 years an approach to teaching and learning called “service-learning” has become popular at many colleges and universities around the country. Bentley University in Waltham was one of the first business-oriented institutions to develop such a program: the Bentley Service-Learning Center (BSLC). In this presentation we will, first, look at how service-learning in general works; second, review Bentley’s program; and third, invite participants to help us identify how a business-oriented curriculum can become a platform for nonprofit organizations to engage in university partnerships. Dr. Edward Zlotkowski, Professor of English and Media Studies as well as the founding and current Director of the BSLC, will be the first presenter and session facilitator. He will be assisted by Jeannette MacInnes, Associate Director; Shawn Hauserman, Assistant Director; and two student leaders, Gregg Grenier and Carla Oconnor. This event is free and open to all nonprofit organizations and individuals interested in the nonprofit sector. Coffee shall be served.

First, we’ll look at the broad concepts of grant writing – what to do and what not to do in terms of background, writing style, timing, etc. Then we’ll take an in-depth look at each of the proposal’s sections with an eye toward creating content that puts your agency in the best light. You’ll come away with ideas about how to approach funders via grant proposals, what makes a proposal readable and effective, what reviewers look for, resources to use, and pitfalls to avoid. Hillel Bromberg has been researching funders and writing proposals for almost 15 years. He has worked with clients in social services, homelessness, the arts, and higher education, seeking for each the types of funders and grants that help them carry out their missions.
