Published: Jan. 26, 2021, 4:31 a.m.

In this podcast, I am going to bring up when your freelance company or nonprofit should stand up for movements or injustice. \n\nHere\u2019s the deal. Sometimes I see nonprofits and freelance companies not sure if they should publicly support something. Most of the time it\u2019s not because you don\u2019t support something, but rather you might not be sure if your brand should make a stand. \n\nIn this episode, I am going to give you indicators on how you can quickly decide if you want your nonprofit to stand on an issue and how you want to represent it. I am not going to shove down your throat what my stances are on issues, however, I will use my company\u2019s stances as examples that I actually practice what I preach.\n\nHere\u2019s the issue. Many times nonprofits and freelancers are just scared to publish a social media post or say they are in alignment with issues. They may fear losing donors, losing followers, or getting unsubscribes on their email list. They may not want to marginalize or polarize their audience. \n\nI am going to show you how to make decisions where those fears will not be an issue.\n\nWhy is this important? Because we are moving more and more from a position where non-political players have an influence in the social, economic, and yes political movements. The invention of social media is has created a platform for sharing views and perspectives. I remember when celebrities first got on social media and suddenly there was direct access to their thoughts and beliefs. It was, and is, pretty cool. But social media is also your platform of your nonprofit\u2019s view and ethics or your freelance grant writing businesses branding. To post nothing is to post something.\n\n\u2728\u2728 Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants \u2728\u2728\n\nFavor, please?\nIf you love this podcast, would you please do me a favor and leave a review on iTunes or your podcast listener?\n\nThis helps others find the podcast and I read each and every review!\n\nIf you have any questions, feel free to email\nholly@grantwritingandfunding.com\n\nThanks for listening!\nHolly Rustick\nExpert Grant Writer & Bestselling Author\nhttps://www.grantwritingandfunding.com/ \n\n\u2728\u2728 Visit www.grantwritingandfunding.com to get the proven G.R.A.N.T.S. formula to write winning grants \u2728\u2728
