We had a great and lively coffee talk exploring how community foundations do communications planning and implementation.

Let's continue the discussion here - especially for everyone who shared plans for their anniversary events!

I really enjoyed this coffee talk and took away so many ideas, plus it got the creativity flowing again. It's been a year and a half of a very different work flow and this made it feel normal again! Looking forward to @GennaFreed 's notes and documents she's going to share! Thank you again!

Happy Tuesday from Ohio! Thanks to everyone who took part in the conversation and caught up after.

I wanted to share a few resources/things I referenced in the conversation:

Videos: our virtual Annual Celebration, a donor story, an impact story.

I've attached our monthly donor engagement team plan, a sample story gathering worksheet and a sample story bank (which helps me plan).

Please let me know if there's anything I forgot or can provide!

Ok, forgot the most important part...the communications strategy doc! This is the annual plan I share with our board and reference when I put together my to-do lists, plan monthly/quarterly, etc.. It changes a little each year.
