Successful outreach to charities requires a targeted communication strategy. Our approach first emphasizes understanding our audience by analyzing existing studies such as those from Statistics Canada and studies by Imagine Canada and Johns Hopkins University. By leveraging tools like the CRA database, we reorganized information for effective mass mailing and email newsletters. Collaborating with established networks like Philanthropie Québec helped us access diverse groups and associations. We utilized our website, social media, newsletters, and paid promotions to tailor our messages. A well-defined communication strategy and partnerships are key to maximizing impact.
