“Thriving nonprofits don’t happen by chance. They are built with intention, clarity, and shared responsibility.”

Inspiring words from Joan Garry, Founder of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab.

We carry sentiments like these with us at Crayons & Marketers.

Every day, we get to work alongside nonprofit and mission-driven leaders who pour their hearts into the people and causes they serve. That kind of dedication is what inspires our work.

Our favorite part is helping them tell their stories with the same intention, clarity, and care they bring to their missions.

Thank you to the leaders who let us be part of what you’re building.

How accessible is your nonprofit brand?

Accessibility is a mindset built into all aspects of an organization's brand and marketing, not just a one-time checklist.

According to the CDC, about 1 in 4 U.S. adults has some type of disability, whether visible or not. For nonprofits, a brand that's easy to see, read, and use means more of your community can connect with your mission.

Here are four easy ways to conduct an accessibility audit so you can ensure your brand is reachable for all audiences:

✅ Contrast: Keep your favorite brand colors, but pair lighter shades with darker ones so text stays readable, and don't rely on color alone to carry meaning.

✅ Fonts: Choose typefaces that stay clear at every size, skip very thin weights, and save decorative fonts for big headlines.

✅ Captions and alt text: Add them to images and videos on your website, social media, and public PDFs.

✅ Website: Install a widget like accessiBe to help improve website accessibility while maintaining the look, feel, and performance of your site.

Looking for tips to amplify your year-end giving campaign strategy?

For many nonprofits, the final months of the year are a prime time to connect with donors, share impact, and raise resources for their mission. And the strongest year-end campaigns start with a plan.

Here are five key steps to help your organization go from planning to ex*****on:

1️⃣ Start early. Set your fundraising goal, timeline, target audience, and key messaging as early as possible as you head into Q4.

2️⃣ Tell a compelling story. Audiences and donors give to people, possibilities, and impact. Talk about what your organization has done for the community in a positive and uplifting way.

3️⃣ Segment your donors. Loyal supporters, major donors, first-time givers, lapsed donors, and prospective donors each deserve a message that shows you know them and value the relationship.

4️⃣ Show up on multiple channels. Email, direct mail, social media, and board outreach work together to help your mission rise above.

5️⃣ Thank donors and stay connected. Say thank you promptly, share the impact of their generosity, and give them meaningful reasons to stay involved year-round.

At its heart, year-end giving is about strengthening relationships, building trust, and inviting people to engage with a mission they feel passionately about.

Curious what a customized year-end campaign strategy could look like for your organization? Let's talk! Email [email protected] or call 615-208-6445.

Today, the Crayons & Marketers team wrapped up Day 2 of the Tennessee Nonprofit Conference alongside nonprofit organizations from across the state.

Nonprofits aren't just community partners; they are essential drivers. When they thrive, every single one of us thrives.

Huge thank you to the Tennessee Nonprofit Network for convening two days of powerful conversations. We're heading back to work inspired, grounded, and ready to help amplify the stories that move our state forward.

Day 1 of the 2026 Tennessee Nonprofit Conference in Franklin did not disappoint!

Crayons & Marketers spent today learning alongside some of the most dedicated change-makers in the Tennessee.

Supporting the organizations that build up our communities is at the heart of everything we do at C&M and being in a room full of peers committed to that same mission is the best kind of inspiration.

If you’re attending the conference today or tomorrow, come say hello! We’d love to connect and hear about the impact your organization is driving across the state.

We can't wait to see what the Tennessee Nonprofit Network has for us tomorrow!

Social media is one of the most powerful tools a nonprofit organization has for building community and awareness. But what happens when likes, comments, and follower growth don't convert into donations?

Posting more frequently isn’t always the answer, but understanding social media’s unique role in the donor journey can make all the difference.

The latest blog from Crayons & Marketers breaks down how to bridge the distance between a “like” and a gift. From using social platforms as a front door to owned channels (like your email list), to nurturing supporters before your first ask, to removing friction from the mobile giving experience.

Take a look at your donor database. How diverse is it, really?

Many nonprofits may find that their current donors have more in common than they realized. Similar ages. Similar backgrounds. Similar networks. Similar ways of giving.

That can create a blind spot.

Diversifying your donor base isn’t simply about adding more names to your database. It’s about expanding your reach and building relationships with people across generations, cultures, abilities, communities, life experiences, and other points of diversity who may care deeply about your mission but haven’t yet been invited into it.

And different groups may connect, give, and engage in different ways. That means reaching new donors requires more than sending the same message to a wider audience. It requires understanding where people are, what matters to them, and how they prefer to engage.

So, ask yourself: who might be missing from your donor community today? What steps can you take today to try to engage them?
